Mar 9, 2010 at 6:12 pm #1584302I had a customer come in asking " I am after a camera that has not come onto the market as yet, it is the " XXX" , do you have it ?.
Me "No, I am afraid , it hasn't come out as yet…"
(true story, and the guy was not joking…)David , looking at the specs (5mp sensor with tiny fix focal length lens) I would expect it to be as good as the cheapest possible camera that can call itself HD. but it is "weatherised"
Keep in mind that HD (and full HD) is a format or a quantity not a quality. In other words is like saying "I have a 42" panel" , that only gives me the size not the image quality.
FrancoMar 10, 2010 at 7:26 am #1584533Not that I know anything about camera stuff, but last year I was looking at getting one of those little handheld HD video cameras (there are a bunch on the market). Long story short, I ended up just grabbing a new digital camera that had HD video capability (Panasonic DMC-ZS3). It was lighter then carrying both a still camera and a small video camera so it made sense (to me!) to go that route.
I know almost nothing about imaging and whatnot, so I don't know how to measure the quality of the footage, but it looks great on my computer. I remember last year Canon had a competing model that was weatherproof but lacked the ability to zoom while taking video – maybe an option for you.
Moral of the story: Steve knows nothing of cameras but simply wanted to point out that he was once looking for a similar product and ended up buying a digital camera with HD video.
Mar 10, 2010 at 8:19 am #1584548Thanks guys. I want video on the trail that is weatherproof but that won't break the bank. I've spent all of my money on backpacking gear….:)
Suggestions?
