Hi All,
I just received my Canon SX700 and went out for a test today. The picture quality wes good, the video image quality was great as well. I heard zooming in and out sound when I was shooting the video using SX700. After I came home and play it on my computer, the zooming in/out sound is indeed loud and clear. In addition, I heard clicking sound in some zooming in and out as well. Is it normal? Is it an one off defect? Should I return it? And comment/ suggestion/ advice is appreciated!
Best regards,
Sally

The noise you can here is the zoom motor stopping and starting and very little you can do about it. The internal microphone is only doing it's job... picking ALL the sound up it detects.
These cameras in the video mode is only a gimmick, the quality of these internal microphones leaves a lot to be desired, the only way round it is to use an external microphone, whether these cameras have that facility I can't say, do consult your user manual on using an external mic.
