How does the audio on the videos sound? Does it sound grainy and bad, or high def? Also, is it Stereo?

Not stereo and not high def but clear and audible. I have the camera mounted in my car on the drivers side at the top of the windshield. All conversation in the car can be clearly heard on the video. On the days I crank up the music, playback is clear and sounds great. I have not used the camera outside the car so I can not attest to outdoor recording but I know you can hear my car horn on the video. Hope this helps.

John, I was so disappointed w mine I quickly returned it. I could not get it to work properly with almost any of my stereo including the video connect.Sorry I didn't have a better report.

Hello Leslie, I haven't explored the video capabilities in depth, but just with base settings, I've been pretty happy with the video capabilities. The images come out clear with smooth fps. I guess it depends on what level of quality you're looking for, at a hobby level, it's been awesome and I am able to use the still photos for my professional work.

No, the audio and video are built in and are petty good. You will need a pair of amplified speakers.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

I think it sounds pretty good and would compare it to many of the sound systems of the 80s ... I get good stereo; it's dolby and digital ... I wouldn't consider this item a top of the line Audio System ... There are better sound systems around, depending on your budget ... The question is do you need a more expensive system ??? ... I have a DVD player hooked up to this and my music CDs play just fine ... The stereo and surround sound quality are pretty good especially since I hooked the satellite speakers behind the couch and the remote woofer on one side of the couch ... Visio makes more expensive systems if you are looking for more and of course, you could always by a Bose System ... My opinion is unless you are a true audiophile, this system is good enough whether you are watching an HD Movie or listening your favorite CDs ... I'm satisfied ... Hope this info is helpful?

The audio is better than the last flat screen I owned and no longer need external speakers, I do not hear well. Hope this helped.

The sound is fine for watching TV programs, but when I pop a concert DVD in I really miss my old system with the subwoofer and the stereo speakers. So I guess my answer is it depends on what you like to watch. But the volume is fine, it's just for music I'm thinking of upgrading here.

The video and picture quality is great... pic is 8mp and if i'm not mistaken the video is HD

In Sound Properties, there is a Stereo Mix option (IDT High Definition Codec). Not sure what it does or if works.

Sound is OK I guess. It's not really great orSurround sound like. It typical dvd sound. Maybe it can be connected to external speakers.

Hi. The sound is ok but at higher volumes dialogue tends to sound garbled. I have some hearing loss myself and I prefer to use headphones when I'm using the unit. If you're viewing with a friend a pair of headphones can be used by getting a cheap splitter available at any electronics store. It may even have come with one - I don't remember. Cannot beat the picture quality and sturdiness though.

Jeff:Thanks for responding! I'm glad you like it so much. I think I'll give it a try. I did read a review that said that Fuji didn't think people buying a camera in this category wouldn't want HD video. I guess that makes sense, although it sure doesn't make any difference to me. Thanks again for a nice response.Steve

Yeah, it has a AV output - I tried with a cable I had but couldn't get it to work right with the video and have stereo audio, it seemed to only have mono with video; If you just want to occasionally use this feature this isn't a bad player, if this is something you want to regularly do, I would suggest finding another.

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

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.
