Can I use this camera to make short sketch videos?

Absolutely. It can be mounted on a tripod, takes a great HD image and the sound pick up is very good.

I guess you could. I have had many cameras beginning in the 70's with a monster that included a side pack. I don't really like this camera as there is a battery problem as far as I am concerned. The battery pack didn't work and the extra I bought for it didn't work. My friend said his didn't work either. He said he just used regular batteries. I tried that but wasn't all that excited about it and just wrote the whole thing off as another bad deal I had made in life. More China Junk!

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

Yes. you can take video with this camera. Just push one easy button, you start to take video. It is HD video for 720P, but not for 1080P.

The camera has a USB connection, so as long as your computer has a DVD writer, it should work fine. When doing actual videos (photos less important) it is best to get the Class 10 SDHC memory cards for the camera.

You can. I have only done it once. I use the video on the document camera and saved it to my computer. The video turned out really well, and the kids enjoyed it.

If you have a video digitizer (a TV card maybe?) in your confuser your system can use anything plugged into that as if it were a webcam. If the cam can't be used USB then plug it into the digitizer as a video device.

you can change picture size so the count could vary. shooting video racks up space fast so you really should have a card to go with this camera.

This camera can take short videos. The videos come out very clear.Amazing little camera.

Yes. However the quality will be "1990s" camcorder level. Or lower. It's not HD and is pretty low. But yes, you could make a very small one.

Yes, you can use any camera. We found that the camera provided was kind of big. So we bought a smaller one from best buy and used it. Hopefully this helps!!!

The other answer suggested the answer is no. However I recorded a short video and snapped pix while the video was recording and those pix were recorded as was the video. I doubt this is a feature I'd use since I generally don't record video on my camera.

I think you would be better served having the cam reproduced via 3D printer, as already noted. A small cam could be "handcrafted" from a larger item.

You can either draw into the program on a sketch layer, or if you draw on paper you can scan it, either or is good. i recommend a great drawing tablet however.

This camcorder is light and small enough for you to use it for that purpose.However, battery life is so short, you might need to carry extra 7-8 batteries to get that done.I would not get this camcorder for that purpose.

You might be able to get RAW from it eventually. There is a lively community of people working to program additional features into Canon point-and-shoots. http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point+and+shoot-into-a-super+cameraNote: Since this is a new camera it may take a while before CDHK is available for it.

As far as I know, no you cannot. It puts everything into a video opposed to individual images. But the way we found around that is to use video editing software (there is a range of options from free to high quality professional software) and clip out pieces we do not want. Hope that helps!
