http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10092165&catid=25717&logon=&langid=EN

It says it records in flash format??? Can I put clips straight into windows movie maker or do I need to convert them first?

Please help.

Answer 1

Flash isn't the format, but the type of memory on it. The file format is h.264, which is a standard hi definition format. As far as I know, only Windows Movie Maker on Vista is compatible with HD files, so if you don't have Vista you'll probably have to convert the file.

Answer 2

that camera does not have a good image stabilizer, check out the panasonic hdc-sd9 or the canon hf100
