Re: Videos from the show

The camera was hand-held, not on any tripod. I believe the G1 X does use IS when shooting video, so that's helping it to remain stable. I was so close to the stage I really didn't need to zoom in much. In one of the videos I posted I do zoom into the drummer briefly then zoom back out.

I'll should have some more video on YouTube tomorrow. I'm taking the camera to a pro soccer game tonight, so I'll try to shoot a few video clips.

The video quality is very impressive. Was the camera on a tripod or something? Looks too steady for handheld. You didn't zoom at all, was it because the camera was already at full zoom or you didn't want the ISO to drop? I am seriously considering G1 X but was going to have a second compact for video (mostly for my kids family archive) but it looks like I may be able to get along with just G1 X for video as well. If you are into video, please post more samples.
