problems with sx1is camera

[morcozio]

dEAR FRIENDS, i have discovered that when i shoot a movie in full HD with my sx1is at home, with artificial light, normal, neon and alogen, the camera records a shifting shadow that moves upwards continuosly at 100 - 160 lines per minute.

This problem, that a technician believed it is a natural behaviour of the camera, it will not permit me to take movies in low light when needed....

I sent it to repair, and bought a second one, because i had to finish a job.

Same problem.

so i got my s5is, took the same shoot, and everything was ok.

ccd vs cmos?

i went to the shop where i bought the second one.

the guy got another one, brand new, same problem.

ohhhhh gosh !!!

what's happening? has any one detected this fault yet?

i bought this camera because i believed it was a good one, but if you are not working at 80 asa, it will spoil your pictures as soon as it reaches 400 ASA.

i cant find info on this problem anywhere.. so i am asking you if you could test yours at home and reply. 3 with the same fault makes sense only if the latest firmware change was mistaken or if an hardware problem with the cmos power flux, due to discontinue absorbtion, forces it to flicker because it can't stand the refresh....or something of the kind

now i've sent them both to be repaired, and discvered that even a630 power shot that i own, shows the same problem, ( but less visible, 20 % ), and even creates a pair of plasma vertical fluxes on the 640x480 movie, that look violet -purple -blue and running upward continuosly.

if i needed a plug in, or any special effects, i might use photoshop.

without talking about ORBS, THAT APPEAR FROM TIME TO TIME ON THESE CAMERAS.

IS IT A NIGHTMARE? or just a consequence of the crisis?

morcozio-

I am also an old canon S-5 user as well, and while the S-5 did not featue "HD Video" per se, it sure was a good system that had a dual channel auidio system as well. Perhaps I am behind the times but I still regularly use my S-5 strictly for video clips.
