Hi Larry,..the new camera does allow the making of videos,..as did the old one,..however what you see in the videos are really picture images which i add to a program,.. Microsoft Photo Story 3,..its a free program,..zooms in and out automatically and can do a side to side movement when the picture is cut horizontally,.. one imports the pictures from your computer picture files to the program,..organize them in what ever sequence one wants,..add the time for each or all the images to be viewed,..add music from your own files,..have a preview and if there is something in need of change make it,..save the video for playback on computer and save the project,..that's it,..oh the pictures added are just copies of those on your computer so you don't lose them.
Camcorder,.. is still there but changed to,.. Webcam these days.
