I'm looking for someone who would be kind enough to film 10 seconds of silence with a Canon G6 for me so I can compare the background noise to my own as I have been told mine is faulty Many thanks for reading

@realspeed Thanks for your help, & seems like a nice camera!

Not much I can do there I suppose. I sent a long email and gave him his refund, without reimbursing the return postage, so frankly I hope he'll go away now as I'm pretty fed up with the whole thing! Have scheduled the relisting to start tonight so if anybody here wants a nice condition G6..... ;)

Thank you! the noise is much better in comparison but then as a much newer dedicated camcorder one would expect it to be I suppose

Thanks I really appreciate that, though could you change it from private to unlisted so I can see it? ;-)

I was filming a coffee table, not necessarily in focus, just anxious to hear the infamous noise! Ha, maths never was my strong point, sorry. I sold it for £100

Just got the camera back, and done a test to listen to video audio.......here it is: Be interested to know what you all think. I would have assumed it just wasn't made primarily for video recording so it's a bit pants, which is what I told him to begin with but he didn't like that!

Oh well. I just figured maybe most private sellers didn't go to lengths of getting written evidence to back up what they say

Yes - that's what I first told him, but according to him that was me admitting I had known it had a fault, and apparently I've been trying to "fob him off" from the beginning! He claims he was buying it to replace his Canon G5 but he's been claiming a lot of things :-S! Thanks that's a helpful...

Latest instalment! He has posted it back to me.. (he gave a tracking number so I suppose he really has)...and says these are the things I should test for: "When checking the camera on video function the noise will be self evident on playback. when checking the video visual quality, film...

He offered but when I asked for it his response was to start the ebay refund process(!) Thanks, I will do, also I hadn't thought about the test fees so will add that to my email!

Maybe I should tell him I got a second opinion that , d' you think that would help? :-P

Look up CameraRec Toby on youtube, he has some great videos about the 70D & which lenses to get, inc opinions on the 18-135 :)

I've just reluctantly sold my Canon G6 on ebay, to fund a new camera, but the buyer is now telling me that it makes a noise that is picked up on video....I have mentioned that it will pick up some sort of noise from the camera, but he is adamant that it is a fault rather than the usual noise it...

Ah I see, makes sense! I'm leaning to the Canon now because of the "quirks" I have found out about on the nikons....! That made me laugh x-D Must say I didn't realise a sharp damp frog was such a nice subject x-D
