How is the video frame rate? Does the image lag or become unsynchronized with the audio if the lighting wasn't strong enough?

Unfortunately, this camera has no audio capabilities. in fact, truth is that this is little more than a camera taking a picture every 1/2 second. to pull video off of it, you would need specialized tools or screen recording software. its not for what your thinking, by the sound of it.

I was not able to use it on windows 7. It is not compatible with that OS so I can not answer your question.

I bought this for a gift don't know how it works when the lighting ain't good

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

There is no lag going from composite(edit:component) to HDMI on the passthrough(although there might be a loss of quality. I haven't tested without it, it's been plugged in since I got it.) The capture has about 2 seconds delay.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

The shutter lag on this video camera in photo mode is not something you would like. I tried taking action shots of my son playing indoor soccer and the time between pressing the button and it taking a picture was long enough to miss the shot I wanted. This was indoors, but the lighting was decent. Perhaps outdoors it would be different, but I'm not counting on it. It takes decent pictures - not great though. Don't throw away your digital camera if you're getting this. I will do in a pinch for non-action photos if you have nothing else with you. The specs say it's 10 Mp - but that is 5Mp scaled up to 10Mp. Again, the pictures (even with flash) aren't too bad. But regular digital cameras have a lot of optional settings (for still photography) that are easily accessed - this does not. Good luck. Tony PS...I haven't tried getting stills from movies - but might give it a try using my Pinnacle movie editing software. The video sure looks stunning and the pictures from it..well....won't know unless I try.

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

It's capable of 1080p at 60 frames per second, that's as good as it gets for hidef video. Just make sure to use a SD card rated at class 10 so no dropped frames.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

It's borderline for 1080p Youtube videos: Some play smoothly while others exhibit dropped frames every two seconds or so. CPU ultilization is never maxed out though. So it seems as though the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor isn't quite up to the task.

I had a similar experience which I stated in my review a while ago. It looks like this card is somehow limited to low frame rates at 1080p with major problems @60Hz.

It runs it well as long as you are not wanting to run the highest end settings. I run at settings at the default "Good" setting with resolution of 1920x1080. The frame rate averages 35-45. It is definitely not the same as running on a powerhouse desktop, but it runs well enough to enjoy questing, pvp, and even some raiding. I am not an avid pvp or raid player so I can't say how the system runs when there are large numbers of players in confined areas. I have participated in some of the Celestials groups and never saw any issues there. The frame rate is usually on the lower side, 35 or even down to 30, but it still processes well enough to keep up with everyone.

I have not had a lag. I have a Samsung Dual view camera that has the lag but this one is great. Photos are quick. The smart shot can decipher action shots and takes the photos as such. I use this one at my son's football games.

I think it's geared for that, 2ms and 1080p. I've been playing Bioshock Infinite since I woke up around 7am (now 9pm). Looks great. :)

I don't notice any significant lag. It connects wirelessly instead of via infrared. That may help reduce the lag. I'm running it on a TiVo Premiere.

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.
