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 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?

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.

I use it with my Canon T3i and haven't noticed any lag. Like Bryce said his screen goes black for a few seconds when switching modes, mine goes blue. I would suggest pressing the record button on your camera a few seconds before actually filming so everything syncs up properly. But to answer your question....no lag.

Poorly. The video playback, while functional, is not smooth or without jitter. The Android driver for the on-CPU video chip is not currently accelerated, like it is in Android devices from top-tier manufacturers.

I keep HiRes music files on mine with up to 32/194 Hz and have no problems. Haven't tried video yet.

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

I just noticed that there is a 1.1 version of the firmware available for the S8100 on Nikon's site. I have seen enough low-light video examples of the S8100 to realize that the AF problem is a real problem and extremely annoying. It essentially renders the video useless, and until I can confirm whether or not the firmware fixes this problem, I will not purchase this camera.All the reviews of this camera that are negative complain about the video. So it's definitely a consistent issue.

Yes, after contacting Sumsung CS, (1-800-samsung), I upgraded to firmware 2004 (as of Nov 14, 2007), still see motion blur for fast-moving balls, very dissapointing so far, the 120 Hz seems too much hype

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

I have no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

Quality was good but the "video" was more like a set of fast still pictures vs full motion. I may have had a bad unit. Returned it and did not get another one. Good luck!

I am also having this problem with the busy light signal. I've read other posts and it quite a few people have mentioned this issue. I've check and tested some of the solutions and:1. It's not the battery2. it's not the speed of the card (tried 3 diff. ones high speed)3. it's not the iso settingsI think its time to send it back to canon and have them evaluate.

Michael. I have also read about people turning off the 120Hz. Seems strange that a feature that should "improve" fast motion needs to be turned off! Any owners out there have anything to add? I would love to hear from you.

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

I barely notice a lag time. I turn off review after each shot so i can take another. also I use the higher resolution settings it did take a little bit to save however i got a faster SD card and the save time is now unnoticed.
