Canon SD 970is Camera Review

Below is my unboxing video that was shot with my Canon SD 950is. Below that is a video shot in HD with the new Canon SD 970is. You can go to viddler and download the original HD video here.


Note: This camera is made in Japan. Also, you will notice in the above video it does not like to focus in the video mode on objects closer than 2 feet. However, if you use the macro mode it will focus on close objects. You will need to shot the close up as a single clip at a fixed distance because once the focus is locked in it will not adjust if you then move further away or closer to the object.

Here'a another video taken with the 970is:

Powershot with HD video - WOW!!!

Canon on Tuesday updated its point-and-shoot PowerShot line by announcing ten new cameras. A few of the new models will be able to record high-definition video at 720p and 1080p, both a first for Canon in the United States. Another area Canon will dive into is the waterproof camera market. Though the company makes waterproof housing accessories for its cameras, Canon will be introducing its first waterproof camera (up to 13 feet) in early May.

Canon originally announced its first HD video–capable camera, the PowerShot SX1 IS, in September of 2008, but only sold it in Europe. Beginning in April, consumers can purchase the SX1 in the U.S., and it lists for $599.99. This 10-megapixel superzoom camera will offer a 20x optical zoom, use a wide-angle 28mm lens, and be capable of recording 1080p video at 30 frames per second (fps). The camera will also use a CMOS sensor as opposed to a CCD sensor. (CMOS sensors are usually found in high-end SLR cameras that produce much better images through lower amounts of noise and larger dynamic range.) more....
