Default mode is still photos, using shutter release button. Video mode is activated with a red button on the upper left of the back, next to the screen.

NO. This camera does not take video. This is a really old model that is over 10 years old. It's a great film camera, but your question implies you want a modern digital camera with video capabilities. This is not that camera.

Video, ya. It's just a simple point and shoot though so I wouldn't buy it for taking pictures of fast moving stuff. Get one of the newer ones with the faster processor and intelligent IS in my opinion.

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.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

I've had mine about two years and love it. I just tried reading the date on a quarter and it was "yes". Yes it does take video. Never tried to see how much it will take, but would probably depend on the internal memory or the batteries. My 20 something grandson can do wonders with the camera. Great camera for the money. Only thing that annoys; the lens cap won't stay on.

Yes the camera comes with a software of video editing, photos... (you've to download it). I'm not using it, but it looks like really easy.

I've been able to get stills using my video editing software. The images are good, not great, but I think that is normal for capturing stills. I believe the camera will take stills but I haven't tried it.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

I never used the camera for video. As to your second question, the camera only runs on batteries, and the batteries cannot be recharged in camera.

Photos CAN be taken while recording video. But this option is not available during High Speed Movie Mode. There is a limit to the number of photos that can be taken during video recording.

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

Tell the truth I haven't tried as when I shoot video the battery runs down soooooooooooo fast it is worthless. I would buy this camera if you are going to shoot videos. Mine will not hold the charge long enough to shoot videos unless you keep changing batteries. I am disspointed in the camera and have returned it twice to fix and still has not been solved. When it does work the video is clear as well as th pictures though.
