Got a pocket Canon SX200 the other day. Had fun experimenting with the video mode and iMovie for processing.
Too many issues with the camera, so I returned it. A photographer friend who keeps up with new camera models, recommended the Sony TX7. I read up on it, it sounded great, so I bought one. After a week, I sent it back. It does many very wonderful and amazing things, yes ~ but the flaws are too burdensome for me. If you're always looking for your reading glasses, then this camera isn't for you. But my biggest issue with the camera is the touch/screen/monitor. If you accidentally touch it, you've just lost your Mode. I challenge you to not get frustrated with that - especially if you have to find your glasses first! Also, the grid lines must be black for me - my eyes need all the help they can get.
One last big flaw - you can NOT see the touch-screen-monitor in bright sunlight.
So as I originally planned to do, I will buy the very impressive (for a pocket camera) upgrade of the Canon SX200 - the SX210 ~the flaws have been fixed, or so I read, and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
In the meantime, you can
see a few video shorts I put together rather quickly in iMovie. Still too time consuming, and I'm a still photographer at heart. Video is fun I must confess. But I have no plans on getting a really good video cam - today anyway.
