ruttinbuc Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I got a new Point and Shoot camera with a super zoom. I put the video to the test and made this clip of the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Nice and clear Mike! What power zoom on that rig, it holds steady pretty good at long range. Better yet, what cam is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Matt, the camera is a Canon XS30IS. It is a14 MP camera with a 35X optical zoom which is equivalent to 840 mm. All the shots so far are hand held. The hard part is panning too fast and holding it tight to the body. Here area couple pics with the same woodpecker in the video. I also put up two shots of a communications tower. One wide 24mm and the zoomed closeup at 35X. The Cardinal is out there a ways. I have been taking my time getting to know it. A lot different in handling than my Canon S3IS from 4 years ago, buttons and controls in different places. I need to put it through its paces.

ruttinbuc Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for checking it out, WIwhitetailhunter. One thing youtube allows you to do is see how many times the video is viewed. I really think I am done wasting my time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Folks would rather talk about beer in the lounge these days buddy ..LOL I always look forward to seeing everyone's pictures and films in here. If I'm not out witnessing God's wonderful creation for myself, it's always nice seeing pictures from others who have been out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't post a link here how will I know you posted over there? Thanks Todd, The link is in the first post. With color of it I can see where it is easily missed, I guess. Maybe I'll send off some feedback for a color change for the links. Or this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
