Panasonic DMC-LX3 VS Canon Powershot G10

This is a simple test to the video. I placed the cameras on a rock outcropping on the beach on a small tripod.

Cameras set to run on auto and simply let them run for a short time. I did not have the Canon Wind Filter turned on that I know of.

These are VERY large files about 80MB each so you might want to download them to see them.

Both files are in MOV format which is what the camera recorded on to the SD card…

For this one, you really need to see the bigger image.

This Eagle does not usually stay in that tree very long and I was lucky to get two images even on auto.

All auto, just another test shot, hand help but braced against the open window frame.
