I patiently waited for the next model to see what improvements they made and the 35X zoom with 720p HD movie recording is very impressive. Unfortunately, I did not look at an SX30 before I ordered one online.

One thing I ca...Thanks again for this information. <br />One thing I can say. A "big" CMOS sensor is not a good combination when it comes to manage rolling shutter effect. I have seen videos taken with GH-1 with a long lens and handheld and the effect makes the footage unusable. So, for "superzoomer videographers" SX30, with its CCD might turn out to be quite good.

I've put both the SX20 and GH1 through some sequences, but never recorded any significant time or movement. But after one experience with the scrambled nothings of the AVCHD footage, I just started using Final Cut Express to pull sequences directly from the memory card.<br /><br />To be Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-43174697432044914302010-09-22T12:44:00.001-04:002010-09-22T12:44:00.001-04:00What brings me to the next question.

I've seen the new 100-300 mm and it looks promising but for wildlife, tracking subjects handleld... you know.<br />Also, what's your take on this codec AVCHD?

They don't even have to put any distance between superzoom segment and larger sensor mirrorless, like Panasonic, because they don't have any. What's the point of a new model with downgraded specs? I was going to buy this camera. Was. I'm astonished now. <br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-44248139149126253872010-09-22T09:27:01.274-04:002010-09-22T09:27:01.274-04:00There are no specifications that I've seen onl...There are no specifications that I've seen online about the size of the EVF on the SX30, only that it's a 205K-dot design, while the specifications for the SX20 specify a 235K-dot 0.44" display. I don't have the ability to measure it directly myself, but subjectively and visually, the SX30 is on the wrong side of petite.

SX20 had a 0,44" EVF while most superzooms use half that size (but equal resolution). SX20 EVF looked good in the way it was so big, but also coarse, as you could easily see the pixels. <br />In the case of SX30 IS, what to we have, in terms of size?<br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
