Consumer review by:

Overall, pretty good.

 

This was my first camcorder. I purchased it back in 2008 from BestBuy for $100. This little thing packs a ton of features into it. Yes, now a days there are better things out but this still is a useful little camcorder.

Video light, flash, camera and camcorder, simple to use

Eats batteries like crazy (get some energizer rechargeable and stop worrying)

Great budget mini camcorder

 

This is a great little camcorder. Memory is cheap since it uses an SD card and it's size means that you can carry it pretty much anywhere. The digital camera function is ok but not great. The controls for the settings are easy to understand but...

Small, easy to use

So so video quality and eats batteries like cabdy

Camcorder wouldn't charge

 

Camcorder wouldn't charge

I bought the camcorder for my grandson as a Christmas present. He didn't get a chance to use it because the battery wouldn't charge. It was returned in exchange for a gift card.
