Can some user please confirm this if this has been fixed?

And Reg. SX280 does not have 24p Movie: what does this mean and how much this impact the videos? And what is the movie type in SX280 (in the similar scale of 24p? 20p? I am not sure).

Thanks,
Prabhat

I sold the sx260 to my sister(she loved it, when she saw the photos it captured), bought the x280, both have excellent IQ. The firmware didn't completely fixed the battery warning/shut down issue. A fully charged battery records movie without the warning appearing, but when the battery drains 60-50% or not fully charged the problem returns in movie mode. So not quite fixed! Still much better than the sx260 feature vise.

That's 24fps 1080p no impact at all. sx280 movie modes= 1080p 60fps 30fps; 720p 30fps; 640 30fps 120fps; 320 240fps for slow motion..golf swing etc. If you're not into movie film production 24fps is jerky and not as smooth as the higher frame rates. sx280 also have Wi-Fi which works very slick with sending pictures to a tablet/computer.
