   Summary: Good Concept, Poor Video
This is a great concept. I love the many features; however, the weak link is the poor video especially in bad lighting. It also tends to be unstable. It needs a more powerful light, battery or both.

   Summary: Great item for the money!
I purchased this item a week ago and really enjoy it. I wanted something small and compact to catch those special moments with my 18 mo. old son instead of carrying around a larger camcorder. The picture quality is great, the focus lacks a little in quality, and the video is a bit fuzzy based on lighting conditions but overall it is a great item for the price. I recommend this item to on the go families with kids who want to catch those little moments on video. Thanks!

   Summary: Great Little Camera
We bought this mostly because of an upcoming wedding and all the parties that come with one. Once we got a chance to play with all the settings we decided that it was a neat little camera. The only thing is that the software didn't work so we just went to the website, and the tripod only lasted about an hour (we sort of fixed it). Good luck. I hope you have as much fun with as we have.

   Summary: Excellent value for money; good simple camcorder
It really is good value for money. I can take it with me wherever I go when I couldn't be bothered to get a proper camcorder ready. It's also really easy to get photos, video onto computer and even dvd. That's why I use it far more than my proper camcorder.

Photos are good; video is good quality but jerky and the fps might rely on a fast SD card; I'm not sure.

   Summary: For the Price--Adequate
I'd been meaning to get a camcorder for awhile now. I found about this little thing by chance. I bought it, since it was only a little over $100 from the purchasing store after tax. In still picture mode, the camera is very good. The resolution is high, and even in the darkest of rooms the flashing element brightens up the room while the picture is being snapped so that the picture does not look dark at all. However, in video mode, be warned that in low lighting conditions the camcorder is absolutely useless. No amount of tinkering with the settings creates viewable low-light video. Also, in the low-resolution video recording mode, the picture quality is near horrible. In high-resolution the picture quality is much better and acceptable, but of course it takes more storage. Natively, you can store about 45 seconds of acceptable video and 3 minutes of poor quality video. I have a 256 MB card on hand, which only gives me 15 minutes of decent video. SD cards are pricey; a 1 GB card (which only affords you an hour of video time!) can be anywhere from $75 to $100 (with the latter being more common). The battery is acceptable for such a cheap camera, but a serious user might need an extra one, as it does not last much longer than a half hour. A friend of mine bought this as a gift for his 12 year old. As a child's gift it's just fine. It'll probably get broken anyway. And for a tiny, take-anywhere still camera (in light or dark situations) it's good for adults, for you can store hundreds of still images on even the sparsest of SD cards. However, someone serious about capturing priceless moments on a digital camcorder might want something that offers better lighting conditions AND better storage options, such as DV. You won't get it in this price range, though, so for the price, this is actually a decent little piece of equipment. As a bonus, it shows up (via USB connection to a computer) in Windows as an extra drive, not as a peripheral, although that can be changed in the settings menu. Because it shows up as a storage medium, it is VERY easy to view stills and video clips and save them to the computer to be edited later. If you don't need to film in the dark, and you only want clips of video a few minutes long--not film a wedding or graduation or anything--and a camera to capture still images--by all means buy this. Or if you want something inexpensive for your child, buy this. It's acceptable, although not outstanding. I will be using it as a digital still camera only, and I'm looking to replace its camcorder features with something more realistic.
