Good little camera, even with a hole burned in the side!

I purchased this camera about a year ago to film my two little kids and all their silliness. The video quality on this camera is fantastic, though the sound does leave a little something to be desired- if you're behind the camera, the sound is crystal...

Toy Like Quality & Terrible Support

Recently had received a DXG 533V camera as a Xmas gift from a family member. It's a HD model sold via the Shopping Channel and pretty much the same unit as the 535 and 580 models.

Nice product for the price!

This video camera is great for the teen or younger adult who loves making films and posting to YouTube. The 1080 resolution is good for both viewing and posting to the net.

Terrible sound

Still picture quality is alright. Lithium battery life lasts about half an hour while recording

Nice camera.

Nice camera. The only issue I have experienced is the battery charger. I have trouble placing the battery in the charger, kind of strange charger. Otherwise, the camera seems to take nice pictures and downloads are easy enough.

Great little camera!

I bought this camera for my 12 year old sons birthday. He has had a cheapo kids camera for about 3 years and took great care of it. Now his technical apptitude is much greater so he asked for specific things like better sound quality and zoom. He and...
