Apologies for not posting an example yet.

I've been considering replacing my aging Sony digicam with a new HD model.

After trawling the Net and the local shops, I decided to go for a Canon still camera with a 20x zoom (!), something called the Canon SX20 IS. Nice thing about it is that it shoots high definition video (1280x720 which is YouTube's HD format).

Got it yesterday and have spent most of today familiarizing myself with the many buttons and options.

Looks good so far and the video quality is quite spectacular.

I'll try to put a small video up soon.
