I buy and sell horses. Video quality is a must. How is the video and pic quality?

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

this phone have an average quality, but if is for bussiness purposes higher quality and nitid details , I don't think is a good idea,or for the very low price of this phone you can try it

I can't answer honestly, I really don't use the camera much and don't shoot video. but the flash does leave a lot to be desired.

The Photo quality was descent for an action camera. It's not a DSLR thought so don't keep your expectations to high. It's only 8MP. If you can pay the the extra cash go with a GoPro. This doesn't handle vibrations nearly as well as GoPro. Also, the GoPro will over saturate the colors. It's fake but makes your videos stand out with green grass being very green and blue sky being very blue.

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

It shoots in 1440x1080 square pixels which is stretched to 1920x1080 so it's a little soft (but not very noticeable) It is records video to MiniDV digital and stills to SD. I would say it still compares quite well.

What qualifies as low light? I would be taking video of horses practicing dressage and jumping. Much of the practice is done at night in a lit arena after the riders get out of work. We would be using the video for critique and improvement so I don't need to be able to produce a move but we do need to be able to see enough detail to know if the technique and form are correct. Thus blurry won't do.

The video is not bad... sometimes a little choppy...definetly not hd... but for an inexpensive camcorder that uses plain old batteries... not bad for the money...

I can't say I'm an expert on this topic, as I've never really had a need for a video camera and that capability was not why I purchased the camera to begin with. That being said, I have used the video feature a few times and must say that the sound quality is pretty darn good. The image remains pretty good when your hand shakes, though I can't imagine any video camera would not have some shake. You can zoom in/out while using the video. For my needs, it's been good. And others have made positive comments on the video I've taken with it... so I think that's positive, as well! Hope this helps! :) I can't say I'm an expert on this topic, as I've never really had a need for a video camera and that capability was not why I purchased the camera to begin with.

I do have this camera, and I have taken it to arena football games which have a lot of movement. I got GREAT pictures. It does not have image stabilization, but you can easily take shots of moving objects by adjusting the PASM levels and modes on the camera. Such as your shutter speeds, lighting, etc. As for dark area pictures, I took pictures of my dog in the dark and it looks like I took the picture in a well lit room. Just use your flash when you take photos in the dark, whether it is inside, or outside. As for the video, for a little camera, the sound and quality are impressive. JJ

You can see examples if you go on youtube. People have uploaded very good video. Its a split screen. Front view on top and rear on the bottom. It looks great and the video quality is outstanding. FYI, the programs needed for the camera only work with Microsoft computers, not Apple. Also, at a minimum, even if you couldn't use the program available ( to set the date/time, play with the video, etc.), the video files are not compatible. The files are AVI files and Apple's new updated software doesn't recognize it. Other than that, its a very good device.

Yes, it is. And the videos are pretty decent. For a minimum investment, this camera is very good.

Image quality is very good, but is directly related to the quality of the source content and source hardware. HD from my laptop is best. Streaming from my iPad sometimes is not full screen, depending on the app I stream from. Overall, very pleased.

Just purchased the Canon SX40. It is truly amazing. There are not too many boats out on the ice right now, but I think it will do what I want. The picture quality is fantastic. Shortcomings? Since I'm a newbie I don't understand why some pics are blurry and others not; but that is probably more my inexperience than the camera. Also, it shoots 1080 video only at 24 fps. This is still pretty good, but there are some situations where a moving video is less crisp. But I could always switch to non HD if I choose, and have 30 fps that way. Thanks for your help.

Picture quality actually is better without the flash in low light. Video is grainy but you can make adjustments for better low light filming.

Video quality from the camera is great. Just make sure you're using the STM lenses otherwise you will get the motor noise when it's focusing. Also, autofocusing with video is a little slow to lock-on compared to most camcorders today.

I went out last Summer shot some excellent evening footage , and to me it looked excellent WVGA 240fps, and HD720P120FPS. they are not Hd1080P, Everyone sees things through their own perspective. and that I truly cannot answer for you. In my eyes it looks good. remember no sound is offered on slow motion, maybe the gopro you were looking at offers a different view point. check youtube out for those evening shots

The video is very sharp, and the camera is easy to set to video. The results are very good, but I recommend the use of a stabilizer or tripod, to make better video.
