Does anybody out there have an Olympus SP500 camera and if so do you have problems with the video? I bought this camera about 3 months ago. The picture quality is excellent, but the video mode is awful. I've tried all kinds of settings and videos still come out grainy . I previously owned a Canon that was of lesser quality than this camera and the video was excellent and always sharp. I know cameras are mainly used for picture taking and video is just and add on to the camera, but the videos I shoot should be as good as a cheaper model camera. I wrote to Olympus and told them the problem and they said to send it to be repaired. I took it back to the store and had someone check it and he more or less said that this camera does good at taking pics but not as good for video and that the videos would not get any better. Has anybody else had problems like mine with an Olympus camera or other makes of cameras?? If I buy another camera I'll make sure it takes good videos beside good pics>

The store ddoes not seem to want to be bpthered, but Oly wants to repair it for you. Send it in, probably under warranty. Buy your gear at another store.
