It does have an issue of it's rolling shutter where with quick pans and action you can get a wobble and skew of the image.The result is that not all parts of the image are recorded at exactly the same time though the frame is stored as a single still on the storage medium. This produces predictable distortions of fast moving objects or when the sensor captures rapid flashes of light.
