sd950 LCD screen grainy? Does anyone have the SD950 and think the LCD screen when taking pics is grainy and not very vivid?

I agree that the pictures could use more color and now that i turned my camera on (had to double check) I see what your talking about. It does look grainy on the LCD prior to taking the picture Hmmmmmmmmm I never noticed that before..... Here's a link to check out some of the photos taken with the SD950 IS http://flickr.com/groups/ixus960is/ Some of these are very colorful. I probably need to learn how to set my camera correctly :)

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.

Well let me put it this way, you are blowing up the image to fit with no more data available. That said SD willalways look like crap on a larger screen, that is a fact of life. I dont find this tv to be any worse or better then my Sharp or my Panny. Bottom line, blow up a 35mm negative and a 8 x10 negative to a poster and guess which will look better, same thing here.

It never does for me, I am very happy with it. It is a nice little camera for the price. There might be something wrong with your camera. Perhaps they can send you replacement. Amazon is good doing so. I hope it helped

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine.

Keith.I have found that if I use a digital camera with this unit it is real good. You will have to change a few settings to get the picture right but I found it satisfactory..Hank

I am having the same exact issue. Quality settings and Class 4 memory cards seem to have very little effect on the poor picture quality. Very disappointing after the mostly stellar reviews I've been reading online.

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

DJL, thanks for the input. I purchased mine thru my master card so I will call them & see what they can do. My picture is also getting worse, it seems that a lot of us are having the same issue but Samsung won't admit it. I will also let you guys know what happens.

I recieved my sd870 yesterday and I have the same LCD problem as you have. From people advice, I turn the mode from Auto to manual mode & ISO to 80-100. Then, all the grainy will gone away from your LCD screen. I am not sure why it's happened. I owned serveral DCs from Panasonic, Casio & Fuji, all of them don't have this issues (grainy) on their LCD screen under low light situation. I hope it is a common issue in Canon SD series, otheriwse, I have to return it.

I have not had a problem with the screen but, then again, I don't use the camera a whole lot. Hopefully, someone else who uses their camera a lot can also reply.

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?
