Well wouldn't you know it- now a curious problem with the SX-44 and VW

[tangle]

Well, it's really not a VW problem, but since I went to this camera for it's compatibility with VW, I guess that makes this a legitimate post on Roxio Community. I'm sure you guys know cameras as well as Creator 2010.

 

I made a video,

 

 

and the sharpness was disappointing- the sound - REMARKABLE! The SX-44 has a max definition of 720x480 and an MPEG format with a CCI image device. In comparison, my helmet cam, a VIO POV 1.5, has the same resolution (720x480) in a AVI format with a CMOS image device, and seems to produce a lot sharper video.

 

I made this video under CFL lighting and I wonder if that's part of the problem, or if there's something else going on - like the camera just doesn't make sharp videos.

 

I guess I should say, I need a camera compatible with VW without doing format conversions, and it needs to be inexpensive. I don't really want a $500 plus camera. I don't mind the 720x480 format IF it's as good as my helmet cam.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks much,
