Steve I do some video and I post that to a Bulldog Board that I belong to. I have never tried to resize my videos. I transfer directly from photobucket to that site. My video is the same size as it is on photobucket--about 4'' high by 5'' wide. At my photobucket site that video is on page 3(a video of my OE Bulldog Puppy checking out a large freshwater Turtle). If I right click the mouse it has the full size option which gives what I think is an okay size of 4x5 inches. This is something I have never even considered because I am so non-technical, and I do mostly share pictures instead of videos. I had never thought of trying to make my videos the same size as the pictures I upload. I think you should call Canon and give them a little piece of your mind. I think they are good about listening to their customers. I also know that J&R will take the camera back if you are not satisfied. I am sorry to say I did not even know enough to warn you of a problem like the one you are having! Sad for you, Vicki

http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x208/garden_path/field%20wildflowers%205%2008/ I took these pictures after reading some of the instruction booklet. In taking these pictures there seems to be a big problem taking photos in strong sunlight. The view finder will show alternating, a very deep color then white color, and the actual photo is washed out to white/gray. I changed some settings (f-stop?) and that helped, but only if I shaded the object (see album). I still cannot get a really good closeup in focus, using both the macro button and the telephoto toggle on the top of the camera. I know those of you with this camera can get better shots so I am thinking I may have the settings off or maybe a defective camera. Hoping for some suggestions....

You are righ; Canon does not supply a manual with the PowerShot SX50 HS camera. Here'e what I did: I downloaded the manual from Canon's web site - all 285 pages in pdf format. I double sided printed the manual choosing the option that gave me a print zone of approximately 4 1/8 by 5 11/16 inches. Since double sided printing can get messed up, I broke the job into pieces printing a range of pages for example, printing 1 - 20 pages in the first batch, and then print 21 - 40 pages for the next batch, etc. Be careful to choose page ranges that ends with the the last page on the backside of the sheet (an even numbered page). Doing the job in sub-batches allows you to refill the sheet feeder when it gets low and to abort a batch in case of a foul up. The printout came out double sided on full sized pages and the front and back side print zones were perfectly aligned with each other. Next, I took the printout to my friendly Office Depot store to finish. They trimmed the sheets leaving a small border around the print zone and about 5/8 border on the left side for binding. I had my pages punched and bound with substantial plastic sprial material. This permits the book to be opened and folded back on itself. Office Depot added heavy translucent front and back covers. These covers protect the pages and keeps them from curling. I am very pleased with the results. The cost for the bindery was about $6. Office Depot could have bound the pages with adhesive like a paper back book, but I chose the spiral binding to allow the book to open flat and to turn back on itslef. It makes a nice field guide. The downloaded file can be printed to full letter size to make an office reference copy, however, I find that is not needed so long as I have the smaller camera bag copy.

Try using the HP help chat. Go to HP's site, put in the name and model number of your new pc, and click on the chat part. They may be able to direct you in securing the driver for your camera. If not, try Googling your camera model number with the word "drivers" in the search and see if you can find it there. It could be, that if it is an older model, there may be no driver for Windows 7. I never connect my camera to my pc. Instead, I remove the media card and stick it into the card reader on my computer. I believe all HP's have the built-in card readers.
