video camera issue?

Has anyone had problems with their video camera on th x? I can take video set at 720p but on playback the image looks kind of flickery (if that's a word) and if I import it to my pc and try to watch it on a larger screen, the whole thing looks somewhat pixelated with this weird blue static through the whole frame. I thought It may have been due to being filmed in low light so I took some video outside today and there are these vertical gray transparent bars through the whole frame. Otherwise I love the phone but the camera was one of the selling points for me. I guess I should call verizon and see about having a new phone shipped out but wondered if anyone had encountered this.

Yes, I have the same issue. The HD recording looks kinda crappy. If I cover the camera completely, I can see a faint red haze when there screen should be solid black. This is the same in the camera app. I wonder if that is part of the issue. The camera quality is also down since the small update they pushed out. I have dead pixels that show up in the pictures, but when I use Camera 360, there are no dead pixels, and the red haze does not appear as bad, but it still seems like it flickers in and out. Camera 360 takes a far better picture, so I have been using that program. So What I would like to know, is this a hardware issue, or a software issue.

Are you sure you don't have it set for "video messaging"? Does it say "QVGA" (vs.. HD) in the upper left corner when you record? If it does, than you need to hit "menu>video mode and switch to "normal video". I believe you need to switch out of "video message" mode every time you switch to it. But, if it is heavily pixilated and getting color casts it seems like it is in VM mode.
