Bees at work gathering nectar in mid-October in Geneva's Botanical Gardens. Shot at 60fps on the Samsung SC-HMX10, I wanted to see whether this gives better slow motion footage, hard to tell with busy bees.

    Great video quality! I'm thinking of getting this camera, would you recommend it?

    Although it looks nice, this footage does not do any justice to what really this camcorder is capable of. It is a great camcorder with a lot of features. Shooting at 60 fps is just one of them. This footage up there looks like it's 30 fps and that's because I guess Vimeo still used some old Flash video encoders which supports framerates up to 30 (not 60 fps), so his footage was automatically brought down to 30 fps when converting.

    New Flash Video Encoder allows us to encode our videos using true 60 fps. I work in Flash professionally and I just completed one huge project for Nissan Canada where we used 60 fps videos. They are amazingly smooth and perfectly crisp.

    This camcorder is highly recommended.

    Quick message to David G. - although you may already know about this, I will post it anyway...

    You'll get a lot better slow-motion results if you bring your 60 fps footage into After Effects, go to LAYER / TIME / TIME STRETCH and then inside the window that pops up, set the stretch factor to whatever the amount you wish. For example, setting it to 400% is slow enough.

    Then go to LAYER / FRAME BLENDING and instead of keeping it OFF, chose one of other two methods - FRAME MIX or PIXEL MOTION. I don't want to go into details, you can really find a lot of info about each option on the internet or even AE help files, but in many situations PIXEL MOTION will give you very satisfying results. Of course it is more time consuming so it will take some time to process your footage (depending on the length of the footage). If you're OK with FRAME MIX, that could also work for you and it is a lot quicker... either way, you'll get a lot better results then using FRAME BLENDING set to OFF.

    Don't want to sound like I am trying to teach anybody, it's just a fellow advice.

    Cheers!
