starsit's all about the battery life
it really sucks them dry quickly. if you're going to buy a cheap camera and have to spend 3 or four bucks every time you want to use it for more than 5 minutes, well, not so cheap! The A/V quality is so-so, but that's not such a big deal, it actually makes for an interesting "artsy" effect. But really, I need to find one that has better battery life, or invest in some rechargeables!


starsA good buy for the money
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.


starsHorrible. Cheap cheap cheap. Not worth more than $10.
C$r-a.buon.mercato thinks, parts not to adapt itself together, will not begin with the card of memory in camera. The screen is smaller than the image it would make to believe - the launch screen not measure when down - the hatch you of the memory card does not remain put - the surplus all the tact is of really little expensive plastic. The batteries last all the 20 minuteren not worthy one currency from ten cent of dollar.


stars3 minute videos
I would suggest to the purchase of the camera video that more memory holds because this conceduto only we in order to record a value of approximately 15 minuteren of the video and then it was full. The images were moreover dusk. I would suggest that sgranando towards the outside more moneies in order to obtain to a better cause of the product this just one was not worthy it.


starsWatch out for products like these...
That was my first camera digita them and the quality of the images was RIGHT. But all otherwise to this purpose it was one surprised... The batteries burn extremely fast, endured after taken of the 9 or 10 images or game of the song for 3 minuteren. The video playback was choppy on the screen of the LCD and the audio would not play on my PC was really hard to feel itself from the caps and therefore via... In my opinion, this camera is RIGHT hardly for the taken one of the occasional images of roba, but he is camcorder and a player really little expensive MP3. This product was completely unsatifactory to me, so as to I have had to give back it. I would not buy it if pits you...


starsExcellent value
I have had this digital camera/camcorder for about 5 months. I have taken it everywhere and I love it. It takes great pictures, is easy to use and upload to your computer. The view screen is very good and battery life is decent for a digital camera.

There are some problems:
1) the stabalization in the video mode does not work very well and is too shaky.
2) the menu to change the settings is awkward in places and not easily figured out.
3) in bright light the LCD screen is not good and very, very hard to see.

For under a hundred bucks it is a great camera. I bought additional memory and the camera is more than serviceable. It goes without saying that if this camera was 200 dollars it would not be a good camera or a good value, but for a first camera it is excellent.
