Re: Videos from the show

Wow, this is even more impressive. I usually have some vertical/diagonal camera moves even with IS just from natural body/hands movement when shooting hahnd-held. Not exactly shake but I find it difficult to avoid it. You managed to hold the camera for 5 minutes with practically unnoticeable movements other than panning. Look forward to your soccer video, that should be interesting. Please zoom and pan a bit to give us some examples of what camera can do. And if you are a Mac user, have you figured out which software works well for serious video editing of G1 X files (particularly I wonder if iMovie can natively extract 24p files from the camera and edit them)?

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.
