actually it draws my attention with its small size, long recording hr, decent video quality and acceptable price (if compare with TX1). btw, it has digital stabilizer (of course can't compete with ois), here is the sample clips with stabilizer on frm its predecessor C6

just think of getting one so that i can bring it along, take out frm my pocket and start shooting for any happening... of course for main event like wedding dinner or birthday party i will still stick to my antique mini-dv camcorder.

if you have super steady hands, and hold very steady with both hands while filming, it is ok, for me i dont like hold steady, and i like filming with 1 hand, free style.

tz1 is as big as cd65, same size, rm450 cheaper, has OIS, downside is only last 22 mins video and mono sound.

i got canon A620 which can shoots a pretty decent video too, just that it is too bulky to fit in my pocket and only 17min video recording with 2GB SD. furthermore, it can't zoom in/out during recording

thks for the info, saw the thread b4 actually, the answer is not definite, that's why i avoid to take risk for any potential incompatibility issue, will rather get 2x2GB. yesterday went to hsl & courts, unfortunately they dun have the cg65, as quite bz this few days, will search around again when i'm free

hi, just wan to ask is the tz1 can zoom in and out while doing video recording ???
tq.

yes can, its the only lumix that can zoom during filming.

it is optical zoom or digital zoom wow ????
not motorize sound during the zoom meh ?? if it is optical zoom.

optical. no sound, dont hear anythng.

the feature is great, hope the its successor would use MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression. Panasonic & Sony AVCHD is using this format too.

btw, casio new cameras EX-V7 & EX-Z1200 are also using h.264 video codec, both provides optical zooming during filming too.

yes thats the problem, right now tz1 with .mov format 2gb can last only 22mins, it is quite short but enuf for me, i rarely shoot anything over 15mins, it would be great if pany release a new firmware that enable tz1 support sdhc.

so far i find only cg65's h.264 format has the best video clarity, its as clear as TX1 HD, very impressive, EX-V7 h.264 not really that good, mpeg4 is just so-so, my tz1 .mov is clearer than mpeg4.

many samples of video clips frm various dc can be found at the link below:

already change to .flv, so cant really see the quality.

yeah, what a pity but certain clips are still in original format.

Oh...you manage to get CG65? I was looking for it also. Where you get it from?

Hi,
I just read about Sanyo producing underwater camera/videocamera....does anyone know how's the quality? And I think it's not yet available in Malaysia coz Sanyo Malaysia's website has no info about it.
