My videos show up very very laggy and most basic motion is blurred no matter which combination of settings I choose or SD card. Is it a dud?

Well SD cards have different classes which effect video. Make sure your card is a class 6 or better. You will see that number on the card. The higher the number better for video. I use a class 10. If you card is OK then yes go to your settings in the software and check frame rates and anything else. The quility should be smooth, I think the highest setting is 30 frames per second. I can set this camera out and get around 8 hours out of battery and still has space on a 32 GB card. If the video is choppy make sure frame rates are set to highest. Hope this helps.

My FosCam does not have any of those problems. I would first look at the SD Card. I use a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 card. The speed of the SD card is in part defined by its class rating and will impact the quality of the photos. If the SD card is not a problem then I would contact FosCAm and speak with their Support people.

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 get about two hours of video. I am using a 64gig SD. I could get more video but the two hour mark is the max run time on a full charge!

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

By lag I assume you mean doesn't match the video. And for one of the connections when my boyfriend was setting it up he said it did lag andlater he said it went away. I trust his opinion because he edits commercials professionally for a living and so he is somewhat of an expert. The fact that it doesn't now is baffling to me. I just dont have time in my life to fix unreliable products. I need to plug and go. Hope that helps some.

I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

I could not get this thing to owrk - I brought an additional SD video card - still does not work right - I used the memory in the camera - and yes - it works well - with that - but the memory feels up really fast - so - its a bust for me - I was thinking about returning it - but - I knew they would kill me - so I decided to keep it. Honestly I dont even use it - its in th closet collecting dust. hope this helps.

The one I purchased takes great videos straight out of the box. I have not even tried to take a still yet. I received very minimal instructions with this Quad yet it seems to me, video was the default and if you wanted to take a still, you had to press a button on the controller. I's been a few months now so I may be wrong, but I believe I am correct. Make sure you do not have a "stuck" button!

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

You can take photos and video's but the videos are awful! Slow and choppy.pictures are okay at best. I took some videos at a bike park and was totally disappointed.

For fastest performance, turn off the instant shot review, use Priority mode and get the fastest SD cards you can. Using a high ISO can also slow things down due to the noise reduction processing

It's not the best, most of the pictures come out grainy, or dark. Messing with the brightness changes the darkness of it, but the grainy look remains. Also be careful of when the disk space is about 50 mb, mine will not take pictures if it's less than that.

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??

Sounds like an internal camera problem. The SD card would not have any affect on that feature. I'm afraid I can't help you.

the Small tablets have their limits what we wanted from this device worked. What you ask me we didn't try that, I have a hunch it will but slowly and if you have cheaper SD's it will have problems. The technology isn't as great as the industry would like us to believe. I've been in this a long time and when you get out on the fringes as you and I like to do it has glitches in it at times. I hope that answers some of your question. to sum it up 'Most likely if you have better or the best SD cards, otherwise you will have glitches. It will be slow.'
