Eugenia, I read your review and downloaded the sample clips. Very nice. They key feature for me here is the CCD sensor with that amazing image quality. No rolling shutter! Amazing! I thought all small Canon cameras used CMOS sensors. Plus, a minimum focus distance of 0cm, 28mm wide angle with a 12x zoom, cheap, and small enough to fit in a big pocket I'd assume?
I was considering saving up for something like a Panasonic HMC152. A pricey camera that uses CCD's. Although as far as I know those Panasonic cameras use pixel shifting to achieve 1080P anyway, so the image quality here is probably not far off. The footage definitely looks better than the 720P I've seen from the JVC HD-110 my friends use to shoot professional wedding videos.
A few quick questions. To reduce the frame rate to 24P, do you just set the playback rate in Vegas to 0.8? And do you convert your clips to Cineform or another codec before editing? Also, how bad is the noise in low light? I'm wondering how well it could be cleaned up using Neat Video.
Oh, one other thing.. The continuous mode. With that enabled is it possible to shoot continuously until the card is full, or is it a 'limited number of frames' continuous mode?
Sorry for the long post, but really impressed by what I've seen here.
>To reduce the frame rate to 24P, do you just set the playback rate in Vegas to 0.8?
Yes.
>And do you convert your clips to Cineform or another codec before editing?
Yes, Cineform NeoSCENE. These MOV h.264 clips are very slow and crashy on Vegas otherwise. Cineform rescues the situation.
>Also, how bad is the noise in low light?
It's not a great cam for indoors. It will manage, but not greatly.
>small enough to fit in a big pocket I'd assume?
Yes, it's pretty small.
If you are a Costco member, buy it there. They have good prices for that model there, that's where I bought it too.
I just ordered a red coloured SX200 IS. So I'll be able to tell people any movies I shoot with it were shot using a 'red' camera :)
Sorry, we don't have Costco here in Australia. I found the best price via a site here called shopbot that lists stores selling them for the best price. The store I ordered it from is a camera store called DWI which I've been checking for a while.
The 24 minute limit isn't a problem. Currently I only have a 4gb Extreme SDHC card, so that's all I'll be able to shoot anyway. Plenty for 2 or 3 minte videos.
That 24P you slow it down to is 24P(film) in Vegas, not 23.976(IVTC film), correct? I downloaded a movie from the camera and noticed that the frame rate appears to be a clean 30fps, not 29.97fps.
I'm running Cineform Neo HDV and was hoping to be able to use that to do a 30P to 24P slow down convert which Neo HDV can do, but it doesn't appear to work. I just get an error. It does of course convert them with the same frame rate. Well, the downloaded movie I tried.
Anyway, looking forward to receiving it. I already have a music video planned for it. You'll have to set up an SX200 IS Vimeo channel for these movies.
Upgrade your NeoHD btw, the slow-down should work.
No, it's the old Neo HDV I'm using which they've discontinued with no more updates. Very annoying. I would need to pay $249 to upgrade to Neo HD. Not really worth it right now.
Actually, I'll probably end up upgrading to Neo HD some time. The First Light program that comes with is quite impressive because it lets you edit the meta data of the video much much like RAW image files to adjust the exposure etc. There's a 64bit version of Neo HD now too.

Besides films and photos, I would like to use this camera for my stop-motion animations and it would be alot easier and more convenient if it is possible to connect this to the computer with Canon's Remote Capture software like with the older powershot models. I just don't know if it will work, since the software is from 2004: software.canon-europe.com/software/0019449.asp?model=
Do you know if this will work, do you have another solution or will I just have to take the frames and then put them on my computer afterwards?
Thanks in advance!
