I do both makeup tutorials and vlogs on YouTube. Do you have experience using this camera for those kind of vids? Would you recommend it for that?

It does well in low light, and its macro is good. It also adjusts focus and brightness automatically. Its not as fast as a dedicated video camera, but it does the job well. The built in stereo microphone is also very good. I hope that helps

I went on a trip to Portugal and used this camera for video and still pics. It takes great pics!!! I loved the convenience of being able to do both with one camera. Most people would not be able to tell the difference between those pics and those taken with my expensive Nikon. Now if you are just going to take photos...I would use my Nikon. The Photos taken with Panasonic W850K are wonderful and you will be pleased.

While I have used the video, I rarely do. So I am no expert. But, to me, the video is as good as the pictures- the sound is fine. It shot in low light really well, so maybe that helps you? I'd say it is certainly as good as my iPhone is!

I did nt like it.maybe it can't use it. I would like to try rogue diffuser and blender. I also have one lambency diffuser but I haven't use it that much . I am not good with the flash on the camera. I would buy the rogue. Let me know if works

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

I think it did a decent job! I filmed one of my youtube videos with it--you're not going to get nice bokeh and professional sound quality or anything, but it's definitely a step up from a phone. Here's the video, if you want to check out the quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYYcBIE1L-c

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

Sorry I just use for my photography. I have not used my camera for video. I have old Fuji 5 mp that takes the best video of anything I have ever used even new sony. I still use the old xd Fuji.

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.

The JVC 1.5Megapixel 1080p is wonderful! Simple to use and you can take photos while videotaping. I have had mine a year and I love it!

The T5i makes great quality photos. I have shot over 3000 photos since purchasing mine about 2 months ago and am extremely satisfied. I have not used it for videos, however, so am not qualified on that aspect.

I purchased mine a long time ago and still use it extensively...because of its small size and just the right amount of functions that I use makes it right for me...takes great videos and pix for my tastes anyway...hope this helps...

No. It didn't work for me and several other people have said that it didn't work for them either. This thing is a piece of garbage. My advice is to look for a better cam.

yes - funny, I bought this camera specifically for my bike commute, which is about 30 min...one thing to note: if you record for over 30 min at a time it will chop it up into 2 separate videos, which can later be merged/edited if needed

Video quality from the camera is great. Just make sure you're using the STM lenses otherwise you will get the motor noise when it's focusing. Also, autofocusing with video is a little slow to lock-on compared to most camcorders today.

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"You're welcome. I think the camera is great. Really nice hs pics. I did buy the cannon mike that mounts on top on the shoe and if u have the extra $150 I think it is well worth it audio wiseThe mic is made for the camera. We use it to record our church services so I needed better sound than the built in micDave
