I can confirm that the Q2 is a great camera for taking pictures but very bad for video. I just did some test yesterday.

You cannot control anything, just hoping that the camera's software will choose the good settings, and on that point I can confirm that in great contrast light/dark situations, the Q2's choices are not accurate with burnt light zones, the other HUGE problem is the rolling shutter.

As long as you don't move at all, quality is good but if you try to tilt or do any panoramic movement, the rolling shutter is huge, meaning that the image is shaken. If there are letters such a store ones, you cannot read them any more when doing any pan.

I was hoping that the Q2 could be at least of help in case that my main video camera had a problem but you can forget about it.

I think that video with a smartphone is of better quality.

I have never bought the Q2 for videos but only for pictures and I am FULLY happy with it on that point, the best camera I ever had.

Sorry, this was meant for Q2 not the Q, I will post it again in the Q2 section
