720p video from a digicam
Posted on Fri 5 Oct 2007 at 12:33 AM PST. Filed under Filmmaking.
I tested the Kodak Z1275 digicam tonight, which has the unique ability to record 720/30p video. Video comes out ok, although there is no image stabilization, autofocus when zooming in/out is problematic, and the on board microphone is not good. But as long as you use a tripod, you are interested in sceneries with background music and no voice, and you don’t zoom too much, it can substitute for a camcorder (it records 15 mins of HD video on a 1 GB SD card — that bitrate could have been better too).
720p scaled down to 480×270
I also posted a review of Cineform’s NeoHD over at FreshDV.
