casio exilim ex-fc100 210 fps video lag: Is anyone having trouble with the high speed video.

I am certain that your SD card is the culprit. I use a San Disk Extreme lll card and although it is most likely overkill, have no problem with dropped frames. With the slower cards the card cannot write fast enough to keep up with the input of the camera, so you get frames that are dropped. What kind of card are you using? I have also used the San Disk standard format card to shoot about 60-90 second HS clips that have worked as well. I would use no less that 4 GB cards with the HS shooting.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

You get the same framerate but be careful. The contacts on the unit to the camera get loose too easily and you can't use it - not a precision design in my experience - can't trust it to work every time.

1000ms is 1 second, so no, but there is noticeable lag. I was able to adjust the video settings for one of the more popular SNES emulators and I got it to a playable state, but you'll never beat a real system with a CRT.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

I haven't tried any video yet, but according to this review, the answer is yes.Scroll down to the "Movie Modes" section for the info:http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_M/This review was written before Canon released the firmware update, so the reviewer's complaints about slow focusing have been addressed.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

I started with the SX260 but after a few days sent it back and got the 280. I was very pleased with the performance of the 260, but 280 even better.But yes, there is a problem with video as others have mentioned Canon put out a firmware fix that did the job on many cameras, but not mine. I contacted Canon Support and they told me to send it to the service center. I did, and got a message saying they are not fixing the 280, they are replacing it. Sent me a new camera. No charge. Very fast service. No more than 10 calendar days between my taking the camera to UPS and getting another in my hands. And very good communication from the canon service center keeping me informed.

Has not been a problem at all. I have not missed any shots due to camera lag. Still more than pleased with everything about this camera.

I have the same problem with the autofocus for video recording (even when set to "Full AF"). It occurs mostly during zooming in and not as much when zooming out. Sometimes, after zooming in, it will lose the focus and then regain it or not at all at times. This problem has occurred in bright light and sun outdoors and indoors in decent and dim light.It's too bad since the quality (color and clarity) seems excellent.

I have had the Casio for about a year, there are no 'artistic' effects in movie mode as far as I have ever seen (and I just looked at the camera right now... and still don't see any).

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

Here is an example, first part was recorded at 120fps, after minute 0:37 it was recorded at 240fps. http://youtu.be/KXRVxfTo76E
