Customer Reviews

So much fun!5

I really like playing with this camera. It's small enough to carry everywhere so it's easy to make little videos anytime. The buttons are easy to use. The pictures are sharp. Audio could be better.

fantastic!5
I love this product. I have been able to do video shots and email them to families of patients in hospice, who couldn't otherwise attend from out of state. Fantastic.

So easy, anyone can use it. So small & cheap, take it anywhere4
I've owned this since January 2008, and have found it invaluable - it's so easy to use & so portable & cheap that I can take it anywhere and put it anyone's hands and they can use it. I have used it mostly for capturing dog-training classes -- Agility and Herding. I can hand it off to a fellow class-member, give them 10 seconds of instructions ("Turn it on there, and stop/start the video with the big red button") and I end up with hours of very useful videos of me & my dogs that I can watch later to review what we did right or wrong, and to listen again to my trainers' comments.

If you don't use the zoom, the picture is fantastic. I can hook it up directly to a standard 37-inch TV and the video is terrific. Sound is amazing, considering the basic microphone.

But the zoom is awful. It's digital, not optical, so that means the picture gets fuzzy, like blowing up a lo-res .jpg picture. I just don't even use the zoom anymore.

It creates huge .wav files. E.g. 13 minutes of video = 260 MB. But you can use Windows Movie Maker (or Adobe Premiere or whatever) to reduce file size without markedly compromising visual quality.

Battery life is so-so. Always need to have an extra set on hand.

I've connected it to 2 different laptops running XP and to one running Vista, and in all cases, the software installed and runs seamlessly.

I bought it at $149, and now that it's just $100, it's easily worth the money, if you want a camcorder that's cheap & small enough to always have on hand to capture those candid moments. Definitely not a good substitute for capturing those Big Life Moments like a wedding, but well worth the pennies if you want a cheap, easy-to-use way to snag the many smaller moments in life.
