I too noticed that with the camera's internal memory, but not with my 2GB stick. btw, look at this product: Iogear USB 2.0 MEMORY CARD RW ( GFR202MSD ) in amazon, it is a pen drive which holds the memory stick inside it. Very cool and cheap, I'll be buying one. Oh, also, I was a bit disappointed with the video quality the first 2 days, then I noticed the default is "medium" quality, once I changed it to "high" quality, I decided THIS IS THE ONLY CAMCORDER I NEED.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

Does anyone has problem with the H2 connection to a USB port? In my case, my computer does not recognize the camera as a device connected to any USB port. In some instance, my computer even freezes completely, and this is rare since my computer has a 3.2GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, and 256MB video RAM in its own video ATI video card. I have plenty of devices hooked up via USB to my computer, but nothing this bad has ever happened. I have two 300GB HD devices connected via USB ports, and I have no problem. I have two front USB ports which I seldon use, and I know they work, but neither of them recognizes the camera. Any ideas? Thanks. Does anyone has problem with the H2 connection to a USB port?

Well, the laptop bit the dust and I never used the camera so I can't really answer that question. I tried to get the laptop fixed but it is D.O.N.E. - cannot be fixed. It's headed for the trash heap. It was good while it lasted.

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from.Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

Never tried and I seriously doubt it for they got you on this one. I finally broke down and bought a different camera for it was getting way to expansive. I will miss the quick photo dock. People were so amazed when i handed them a photo 5 minutes later. Most people will have 1000's of digital pictures in a computer and never put them in a photo book. Nothing like a photo book to kick back and look at or pass along. I swear my wife has a million pics in her camera doing nothing, but technically I can't answer your question, but you may want to consider to move on to different camera. Best

The Sony dSC-w50 does support this feature (which is different from formating the memory stick). You can even create folders of images and delete all the images in a single folder at once.

Adrian, I also have the Fiji FinePix HS10 which I settled on after using the Sony H50 and the Nikon P100. When sounds are unwelcome it's possible to silence the camera completely by pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button for a few seconds or selecting Silent Mode ON in the setup menu. And in situations where the single frame delay means you're likely to miss what you want you can use the Continuous Shooting mode which offers numerous frame choices in both RAW or RAW+JPG. Very useful I've found. I love this camera. But I've also discovered the Sony HX5 which is pretty incredible.

I have not tried that as yet. But if it doesn't have that feature, that would be a poor reason not to purchase the camera. I take crisp clear photos with it every time I use it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else unless Sony came up with a better model.

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

If you are in the playback menu, select the delete option, then at the next menu select the "erase all images" option. That should allow you to delete all the pics from the camera at once (there is another option to "erase selected images" if you want to delete multiple images but not all of them). You need to access the bottom left menu button during the playback mode to get to this menu (I don't think the delete button itself gets you there).

K., I am sorry, we have used the SD card to dump still shots onto instead of taking up the limited space... we have not used it for video. Typically we shoot our segments, put them to an editing program within a week and clear the memory to optimize its limited space. Sorry I could not be of more help. You may consider going to Canon's help site to see if they have a resolution.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

I was messing with the camera and want to amend my previous answer. I noticed a piece of film covering the back camera. I took it off and the pictures became so much better and clearer. I went outside and took a few pics and it looks like pics from those throw away cameras. I also noticed it does video to, in mp4. Very good quality, sound wasnt good though when recording video. Couldnt barely hear myself talking. Hope this helps.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way to rig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking from the rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If you bracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it's not hi-tech but the method works.

Yes, if you connect to a computer the camera appears as another drive. From the computer select all and hit delete.
