Product Description
The 70x zoom lens Panasonic SDRS26 has the power you need to take dramatic close-ups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of handshake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where optical image stabilization comes in. Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to help eliminate the effects of hand shake, so you get clear, sharp shots even at high zoom levels. It's an essential feature for getting the most out of this incredible zoom lens. With the S26, you can use the iA function whether you're shooting in motion or still images. In iA mode the camera detects the shooting situation and automatically activates whichever functions - such as Advanced O.I.S., Face Detection, and Intelligent Scene Selector - will deliver the optimal results. Forget about bothersome settings during important scenes and trust iA to give you the optimal shots. Anyone can enjoy easy, video uploading! Step 1: Shoot. YouTube limits videos to 10 minutes. In Web mode the camcorder uses a 10-minute countdown system, so you're assured that the recording won't be too long for YouTube, and you won't have to edit it down after shooting. Step 2: Connect. The Upload mode in the VideoCam Suite is automatically activated as soon as the camcorder is connected to the PC. Step 3: Upload. To upload, simply choose the image file you want and click the Upload button. Encoding is no longer a hassle, as the software does all the work for you. Quick and Easy Editing - The VideoCam Suite 2.0 software walks you through simple editing steps. You'll find it easy to edit your own videos even if you've never done it before Recording Format - MPEG2 (Motion Image); JPEG (Still Image) Focal Length - 1.5-105mm 35mm Film Camera Equivalent - 45.6-3194mm [4 - 3], 37.3-2610mm [16 - 9] [Motion Image]; 45.4-3180mm[4 - 3], 37.0-2592mm [16 - 9] [Still Image] Filter

 Good one for fun video recording on the fly August 30, 2010
Dan.Wygant.org (Nashville)
I bought this specifically for my sons to record for YouTube. They love it! (search for Cummins Air to find my son John Wygant and his videos - the newer ones will be frmo this video)
I choose this based on having hi-def video and low cost.
In addition, all the reviews on various sites - here, epinions, elsewhere - they ALL claimed all pro's and very few con's. I mean it's a great and inexpensive camera.
I was worried it may be bulky, but it's "PALM SIZED" for crying out loud! I saw it in my 17 yr old's hand and was shocked and how unreal cool this small camera looked.
It's also got all the software you need, plus the ability to post srtaight to youtube.
What's reeeeeally great is I found it in an auction on ebay, then came to amazon for a price compare. I was happy! Amazon beat ebay auction, and I didn't have to wait. Frequently too I get it with no S&H cost.
So overall, GREAT price (thanks Amazon) and GREAT resolution! What a freaky fantastic deal. Perfect camera... for any occasion. But 100% the right choice for making YouTube videos.
BTW, I'll also borrow it to record instructional videos for my new site - just starting - [...] - telling how to develop with Visual Studio dot-Net 2010 and the entire 2010 stack including Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010.
Have fun with this camera. It is the right choice.

Quick Delivery. Easy startup. 2.5-3hr battery life. Super outside/sunlight/beach videos. Simple playback/copy to PC. Average Video Software provided for PC. Audio is good. Great Values for price.
This is not a HD camera. Lower quality videos than my Sony handy-cam 8mm. Poor low light/insight light video. Poor= grainy,dark, time to focus. View screen does not Swivel.
Overall this camera meets my needs and the budget I had set aside. I love the SD card portability, ease of use, lightweight, size. Just be aware of what this camera can and can't do well.
FYI - my indoor videos are keepers and have been cut to DVD, just grainy, especially on a HD tv.
