Here are a few 10 second video's from my new strike force. The camera has two video settings, high and ultra, its set to high. The file size is 31mb day and night. I haven't used the ultra setting yet. The flash range is set at, power save. I noticed as soon as each night video starts up, the video comes on brighter and immediately dims a bit. I will be playing with the flash settings soon.
The camera has a good reaction time in video mode which in most noticeable on the last sample video. Also the audio quality is good, no fuzzy background noise. For the large file size I was expecting a bit better quality video. The day videos seem a bit choppy and fuzzy. The night videos, for some reason, actually look much smoother on youtube than they do on my computer via sd card. The light illumination on youtube is also better, shining further up the trees than the sd card. I would think the opposite. Perhaps its a sd card issue? I'm using the sd card (SanDisk 8mb) provided with the camera by TCP. This camera has set time durations for video mode, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60,120 seconds. With a 20 second max night video, despite the camera being set for a longer video duration.

Thanks for the post! Did you play video back on a TV to see quality? It seems like quality of video isn't as good as I would have thought with all the hype about it. It looks like it's goin to be a good camera just thought video would have been better maybe I'm being too much of a critic though.

I tried to play the card in one of my three TV's but none accept a card only usb drive. So I copied some videos to a flash drive and of course, my tv's don't support .avi. I agree with you, I would have thought the video quality would have been better for all of the hype on this camera. The video quality of my (new $80) Primos 02 is better on both day and night videos. With a much smaller file footprint, 6-7mb for the same 10 second video. I What gets me is the large file size, I email a lot of vids to friends and my email carrier doesn't allow attachments over 25mb. The rest of the functions on the camera work well.

I heard you need a SD card like SANDISK ULTRA for good video pics and most use 16 gb card....
