Hello. I'm an amateur moviemaker trying to enter de digital wave. I've chosen to go to DSLR cinema but it is not affordable for me at this time so looking for a good alternative to start I found a very good and cheap offer of an almost new SX 280 Powershot. After reading many reviews and forums I found out that everyone likes this camera as an entry point but at the same time claims about a well known battery drain problem shooting vifdeo. As you already know a camera can be more than an hour at a time ON during shooting, so my questions are:
- Is that problem real?
- Was that problem solved tecnnically speaking?
- Is there any workaround to operate this camera shooting video long time?
- If I adapt an external powerfull battery of 4V 1,6Amp. and connect it to the camera, will it be drained the same way or it can be the solution?
- Is there another Canon camera with the same features without baterry problems arpound the same price?
Thanks to all for your answers.
Marcelo
