while recording a video, there is poor or no image stabilisation. if camera is used without movment, recorded video i great with very sharp image, but as i said without any movment of a camera. darker scen is also results with poor quality of a recorded video, but pictures (photo) in daylight or at night (wiht used flaskh light) is great. software on camera is ok if you use camera for take a photo but for recording a video there is no average quality of recoreded scenes. if you use a zoom, camera take a lot of time to sharpe the image just like if you for a eg. torn around with camera while recording. mic work just fine. user seting of a camera is uer friendly and it is realy ease to use. last and very important thing is that you cant record a video under 2-3 meter, it is to closed sceen, like you use a zoom, i think it is a lens problem (hw problem)... im ex sony dv cam user (older cameras), just for a record. :)) battery is great, fast recharge, long life while using. it is best thing on a camera.

I've been using the Camileo H30 as my backup HD camera for a few months and it does a good job at that. I try not to push it, give it a lot of motion to deal with or challenging lighting conditions. With that in mind, the video is pretty decent. I like the optical zoom. I wish it was more than 5x, but considering most cameras at this price point only have digital zoom I'm okay with it. Surprisingly, I really have been using the time lapse and slow motion functions a lot. I set up the camera on a tripod in the corner of the living room and shot my family putting up the Christmas tree - the two hour process running less than a minute. The slow motion function works well for capturing our model rocket launches. I wish the video size was bigger though (probably 320 x 240 at 120 FPS). I would recommend this to folks who plan to shoot a lot outside or under a lot of light. I would recommend a tripod as there is no stabilization setting. The AVI files created require a lot of oomph from a PC to run without looking jerky. My five year old P4 can't handle them, but my Xeon workstation plays them without an issue and my editing program can deal with them with the included video codec.

Okay had this cam for just under 2 months, great video capture but where is that clicking sound coming from guys, if you ever update the firmware please consider allowing us ISO control by this I mean more ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and find out where that clicking noise is coming from, I am sure its the auto focus.There is also a problem with the avi format used, it has to be converted to type 2 to work in most video programs, but alas you loose some quality.
