I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

Would not go so far as to say it is normal, only that it has been experienced before :) and at least in my case has not apparently affected operation of the camera. However, for all I know this could have something to do with the fact that this camera has trouble staying in focus taking video sometimes. I'll never know - it's out of warranty now and there are still more pros than cons versus the alternatives available at the time so I'd have kept it anyway. :)

This is not normal. I've had no problems or complaints with this incredible camera. Return it. But get another one.

No, I found the video to be awful. We tested in various lighting conditions and with different settings, and it was always grainy and jerky.

i don't agree w/Anthony. mine is a POS. new video should over ride old video as Darek said, but i recommend you spend your money elsewhere and get a better quality product. mine quit working about the time warranty expired

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

Only viewed videos once and didn't see any noticeable gap. But I wasn't paying much attention to that. I was more concerned with checking quality of video. While I like the camera, I suggest you look at other models. As stated in my review, it bugs me that the correct date can't be set.

I'm having a similar problem. I've noticed it most in low light, when the subject moves. I don't think I've experienced it much outdoors in bright light. I've not taken the time to research it yet. I'd say I've been somewhat disappointed in the camera.

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

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I'm thinking of getting the white camera, but am concerned about how quickly it will look dirty. Can someone comment on wear & tear on their white camera? It really is beautiful -- I just want to make sure it won't look horrible shortly after I buy it.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

so say the reason why the video looks like a pixelated mess on my computer screen (and these are videos shot outdoors on sunny days, plenty of light) is because my computer isn't brand new with a super processor and HD monitor and all the bells and whistles..... and I post a couple of these Flip videos to YouTube - is everybody going to see them as a pixelated mess or will anyone with a fast enough processor see it sharp and clear? Because if my end result is always going to look like pixels instead of people this is a worthless product.
