Sample Pentax Optio S 5i Video

Our first camera - a Coolpix 995 - stored videos in MOV format which was pain.

The Pentax Optio S 5i saves video files in AVI format, which means they're really easy to work with without buying extra software. As I said earlier, we've used Microsoft Movie Maker (the one that comes with Windows XP) to edit them.

Here's a sample of underwater video with the camera. It's now in WMV format and I've compressed it to get it to a resonable size for download. The compression means it's more grainy than in real life, but you'll get the idea.
