Ummm, methinks that initially, a more polite mail would have been better.
You assert that this is a 'defect' and then state it is bad programming. If
it is  the latter then  it is not a defect. I agree that this 'problem'
could be  frustrating and negate the video use. But there again, if I wish
to video I use a video camera. Still cameras, no matter how good, simply do
not match up to requierments in this area. It is nothing more than an
emergency facility.

I have the Canon G5, and have not bothered with the video function. Might
give it a try and compare with you. When I bought the Canon it was torn
between it, the Olympus a Fuji, withe the large zoon ranges of the latter
two being of interest. The Olympus would have won.

Lastly, how good is it in its native  STILL mode?
