Hello Hokie 71
Glad I got you inspired...that is what it is all about !
YES, the Canon Powershot Camera I have (new it costs about $350.00 or higher) I used also took the videos.
Any videos labeled VHS-C were taken with a then new in 1996 Panasonic Camcorder ($995.00 I paid for it to Sears back then) and uses VHS-c standard video tapes in a small "bar of soap" size tape cassette. --- and those video tape movies were transferred by me to my computer via Cyberlink Power Director Video Program and using an ION Analog Camcorder to Computer connecting unit box and USB cable to load my video tapes into the computer digitally. The VHS-C tapes are not as sharp as the Canon digital videos.
I am also fooling around with the resolution on the Canon for video recording --- to get even better resolution. I am not sure if the transfer to You Tube is giving me THEIR best playback quality -- or not. More experimenting in that has to be done. But for now, the videos look adequate to me.
