I using S3 for video alot but never try on effect. For low light shooting, it is slightly better than my camcorder. But still noisy. For normal shooting, the video is very sharp.
The problem I encounter is when editing. The canon codec is not recognise by my editing software. Got to convert to others codec. The zooming is difficult to control. Not as smooth as camcorder zooming.

I don't see the zoom is smooth compare camcorder. If you use camcorder zoom before and you know the different. It just the zooming is too fast moving even the slider is slow sliding.
May I know where can I get this Huffman Tables (its 4CC is mjpg) codec? I ve checkout before is mjpeg, but I install all kind of mjpeg codec. But still cannot work. The editing software I use is adobe premiere.

Thanks. Will check it out. I m currently using virrualdub to convert. Normally I work with DV format only. I m using panasonic camcorder. The zoom is smooth and controlable. I thaught zooming method is different between camera and camcorder.

I check back the video file that I shoot but I didn't hear and shutter sound. I don't remember I got set some setting in menu.

Edit:
Sorry my mistake. I open the wrong video file. This evening I try again and really there is a pause and a shutter sound when taking photo during videoing. Try many setting but fail. Hmm... Abit anoying.
