Yeah H2 functions similar to the H1, H2n though has some nice new features such as a backlit screen
EDIT: All I think have the backlit screen lol- Mainly it is just the extra mics that I'd be wanting built in

I've been loving 4FPS for timelapses.  Until I tried to turn the camera with a servo.  Any near horizontal line flickers like crazy due to aliasing with 720p.  Can we get 4FPS to work with 1080p?  In the future?  Why not?

(Hope this isn't too off topic...)
Can you post any of your work Gary?

What happens when you enable 4fps in 1080p?

In 1080p, if you enable FPS Override the frame rate is constantly switching between the default 20fps and the override value (for any value, not only 4fps).

720p is working fine, even at 2fps.

[edit] Uploaded an example. I was moving the camera at a constant speed.
1080p, no sound, fps override @4fps.

Maybe playing with the delay from fps_task (fps-engio.c) has some effect... no idea, all other cameras are working fine with this method.

I don't know if the frame rate is changing, but the brightness is changing.  I assume this is due to the exposure changing from 1/20 to 1/4 and back.  It stays at one or the other for between 5-20 frames.  Then it alternates.  I can't see any pattern to the length of the cycle.  Please help Alex!  Take a guess and let us try it?

Hey rootsxi, Yeah I modded my T1i back in January of last year (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5971.15) but yeah after realizing I decreased the resale value of my camera just for more mono sound I was a bit disappointed. I've been drooling over the Zoom H2n as it has many cardioid patterns to use for any occasion so I probably will go with that...either that or buy a T2i and use a H1...but in that case I wouldn't be as obsessed with the community on here so...yeah I probably shouldn't get rid of my T1i  :D

The H2 is a pretty good all around mic.
this is how it looks mounted on the t1i if interested.

not very practical, but good easy enough to handle for recording sound if on a tripod.

Cool thanks, I'm going to go with the H1 and try to find a way to mount my MXL990 shockmount to my camera to use with the H1. Thanks for the feedback :)
