Quality of Picture is Poor: What am I missing here?
1321570
you're taking 640 pixels by 480 pixels and spreading them apart to fit a larger screen, that's why its pixelated. The same thing happens on huge HD tvs when you give it a 480 line picture (standard definition vs 720 or 1080 lines which would be HD)--it spreads the lines of scan across a large surface yielding you a poorer, less defined picture. The only way you can solve that is to film something with a camera of higher resolution. The Flip is what it is.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

You may be viewing in the full-screen mode which distorts things. Try using a different setting like actual size I believe.

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?

I don't know. I bought it and returned it because I felt the image quality was poor for my needs.

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.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

THis camera replaced my DX6340 and I am not as happy with the picture quality of the new camera. Like you said, pictures are blurry and just not as sharp. Did these suggestions help you? My husband will be heart broken if I ditch the new one since he gave it to me for Christmas.

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

We have had many dissapointing 'fuzzy' pics as well. Especially indoors with the flash. Please see my review here (if they print it)! Essentially, our old 2 megapixel 'FujiFilm' cam puts the Olympus pics to shame. Maybe we got a defective unit?

What kind of problem? Print quality, size, resolution??? Can you be more specific?

Not ultra high gloss, but certainly not matte or semigloss; extremely high image quality

Maybe but to say the truth I am quite desapointate by the resolution. It is un-readable. the cuality is very low so I guess if your screem if not good it will be worth. Good luck.

there is a digital zoom button you can push to zoom in, i think it's like 4x power or so. the quality goes down really far when you zoom in to the point where it's not worth using, very pixelated.
