When I first read about this camera/Digital recoder I knew I wanted one. This camera is jam packed with features.It plays mp3 music you down load from your computer ,takes still shots and videos.Also recodes sound ,has a slot for extra memory and built in features like fade in ,a timer feature and much more. Bad feature is it's hard to use .For one it's very small and the buttons are hard to use and you have to keep playing with the flash (the automatic flash does not work well). If I had kown what I know now I would not have bought it.
So, I had to replace my 17 year old Panasonic palmcorder. I knew I wasn't going to be continuing with a camera that utilizes a c size cassette. And, seeing as how christmas just came, I didn't want to spend a lot of money, or make a permanent decision on what kind of format to go with. I made my decision after reading many reviews on some of the cheaper models. At $59.50, how could I go wrong? From reading reviews, I knew I was buying a camera that wouldn't be great indoors. But, outdoors, the video it shoots is really quite good. And, even though I wasn't buying it for still shots, I was very impressed with the two shots i took of my daughter. The camera is tiny, and almost feels like a toy. The doors to the memory compartment, and where you hook up the wires are very flimsy, but, so far, so good. It does eat up batteries big time, but, if I decide to use this for a while, I'm going to get rechargeable ones. I've read some reviews on this model where people were complaining that it doesn't have enough memory. I bought a one gig memory stick for under 20 bucks. At under a hundred bucks you can't go wrong with this camera. Just don't have high expectations of using it indoors. Although, I did use it recently in an indoor situation with a lot of natural light coming in, and it came out much better than i expected. Combined with the price I got it for, I give it an excellent rating, but be very gentle with compartment doors. I am amending this review to 'good' on March 11th 2007 because one of the compartment doors is now in two pieces. And all I did was remove it the only way you can. And it just came off in two pieces. It does still go back on. It's the cover for the spots where the different input wires would plug in. I should also mention that the software with this camera does some pretty good things. I was able to edit out a short clip from a video and email it to a neighbor, and you can also make a jpeg from a video still shot. The zoom on this camera is digital, which I have now learned, is pretty useless. I've now learned the hard way that you need an optical zoom to be able to have any clarity as you zoom in. But, at under 60 bucks, it's still a fun toy. I even have mp3 clips loaded in and it does work well as an mp3 player. You can fill a memory card with music, and have a cheap ipod. But, who knows how long this thing will last?? It's a good way to learn the world of digital recording. And I didn't even get to the voice recorder...it works well.Read full review
The different photo effects are interesting and fun to play with. The video feature was the reason for purchasing this item. We didn't know how much we would use a video and didn't want to spend several hundred dollars for something we wouldn't use very often. The flash does not work with the video. This really limits its use to outdoors or very well light areas inside. The quality is alright. It is more like a toy. I would not use it for pictures or video that were important enough to keep. A real negative is the covers for the SD card and plugs. They are held on by a very thin piece of plastic that is not long enough or open far enough to work comfortable and will break off quickly exposing the card and plug openings. It also eats batteries. New batteries don't last very long at all. When I have used it, I've had to replace the batteries at least twice during maybe an half hour of use. It is so fragile that I've found I don't use it beyond the initial experimentation when I received it. It is a nice fun toy and should be considered just that. Though, it is too delicate for children and younger people as it does break very easy and the battery door gets loose and starts to fall off after several battery changes and you will be changing batteries a lot.Read full review
