How is the quality of videos and still life pictures?

I video soccer games and baseball games on HD mode and although the screen is small (of course, since it is a pocket camera) the videos come out great. I've even used the underwater mode while snorkeling and loved the video.

The quality is pretty good, however the screen is quite small, but once you hook it up to your PC the videos and still life are great. Do keep in mind though that the is no flashlight on here so filming in dark places is not an option.

No idea regarding still pictures however, the videos are wonderful in my view.

Its lens is pretty small, so "only so good". Better than most cell phones, better than disposable cameras, worse thxan most dedicated video cameras. My stills came out great- not "wedding photographer" great but "good enough for an 8x10" great.

They are decent. I was not able to do anything with them, move them to my pc or post to facebook. I would not recommend this unit.

This camera does NOT take still shots directly, you can take screenshots from the video using VLC Media Player, but the camera cannot take still shots directly. This is a video- only camera, it would be a great buy refurbished. I recommend getting it, if you need still shots but don't need full-HD video then I recommend the Samsung F90 (long- zoom) or for a fair stack of dough get a bridge camera.

The video quality outside and indoors is superb- I have 2 of these cameras in fact ( because I shoot videos and want to get 2 different angles at the same time) The resolution and quality is pretty sharp.. To be honest though, I only shot once in "low light" and it came out somewhat grainy BUT I cant blame the camera for that because I did not make any adjustments to the camera settings beforehand... For instance there is a tiny button called "light" which will emit a bright light onto the subject etc.. (which I had not done).I can tell you for the money this camera is well worth it and lasts a long time.. The one I purchased first ( 7 yrs. ago) is still working great!

The pictures are actually pretty good. They are good in distance as well. Hope this helps.

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

Just from reading reviews the still shots are not good. they are .3 megapixels... which are like 640 pixels wide. definatly not print quality.

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

I think the quality is just as good if not better. I just spent the weekend doing an indoor shoot at Sci-fi/Fantasy conference, got great shots and did not use my flash once.

The video doesn't use any proprietary codecs so as previous posters have said you can extract the still shots with video editing software. Also, I have found the video good enough to extract stills by pausing and doing screen captures (for slideshows, presentations, etc). However these will -not- be good enough to print at high quality. If you want high quality stills then you have to go with a higher end camera. I never had problems with the housing fogging up but that was in Caribbean weather conditions, don't know about colder environments.

I have a Mac and the pics and video upload easily and the quality is great. I use iPhoto and iMovie.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

1080p video playback is great. no annoying pixilation or grainy resolution. 720p recording is not the best but with considered; proper lighting etc the recording quality is also very good. after you are done recording, you are not left wondering, what did I just record? both aspects of the laptop's camera are very good and both get my thumbs up!

i did not use it for long duration videos. the video quality is 720 pixel. i think the battery life is good.

It is an HD camcorder that produces very nice video and great still pictures as well. These things used to be pricier, but now it's easier to come across one at an affordable price. They have a cool feature: shooting 3D video. There's a special lens that attaches to the camera, and with compatible TV and glasses, you can enjoy the novelty feature. Camcorder uses SD cards, preferably Class 10. It has a touch screen that is pretty cool. If you're interested in the video quality, there are quite a few tests on YouTube. Have a great day!
