The SZ-30MR records gorgeous full-resolution, 1080p HD video and 16-megapixel stills at the same time. Thanks to an ingenious feature called Multi-Recording, you’ll never have to choose between video and stills again. The camera’s dual TruePic III+ Image processor makes it possible to record simultaneously in more than one mode and in a variety of combinations. Users can record two different movies at once: in wide-angle and close-up; full HD and lower resolution or original and filtered (using one of the SZ-30MR’s seven Magic Filters for movies). In addition, with the Photo with Movie Clip setting, it’s now possible to capture moving footage before and after taking a single photo. Less

An interesting opportunity came up to buy the S50 for $400! An opportunity that if I passed on, I wouldn't be able... Read full review »
