I want to see sample videos of movie cameras. Not youtube as they're compressed. Any other ideas? Archived From: Technology

I'm thinking two things.

1. There's either sites that have, over the years, reviewed video cameras from Sony or
Panasonic and others and put up a minute of video samples. Steve's Digicam when reveiwing
single shot cameras would put up the photos and include a sample of their video if they shot video too.


2. Some search engine like Google, can find any .avi or mp4 or other files. Then with the right serach terms I'd get more of a chance to see that video would be from a certain camera.

Thanks for any help

Buy a video camera from a store with a decent return policy and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, return it and get another one.

dpreview mainly deals with still cameras, but they do post sample video clips from some cameras they review.
The Olympus E-P1 is a new type of camera that is coming out this summer. dpreview has some sample videos they
shot with the camera here:

I appreciate the 2 replies. Too bad there aren't more sites that have samples. Still looking.

If I find any I'll post them here. Check back and you do the same. Thanks

While that is an idea there's 2 small but potentially irritating problems with it.


1. You get a reputation of being a bum by returning things.
2. It takes time and 4 trips just for 1 camera tryout

3. If I want a camera that's older and maybe even used. Gosh could I live with used?
Then they won't be selling a used cam.

Sorry 3 strikes. Try again.
But seriously Thanks for the reply so as to give me a change for target practice.
