Excellent value sub-$200 Digital Camera

 

For the bargain price, this is an excellent camera that you won't freak out over if something happens to it. It takes excellent digital video, weighs amost nothing and is small enough to take anywhere and slips into a jacket pocket. Therefore its there...

Price, covers all the basics, USB interface to PC

No issues for what I paid

OKAY Camera, I do not recommend it!

 

The focus is really bad especially in the dark. The "Color Nite" feature sucks. You can't use too many features at the same time. For example, you can't use the "Easy Q" at the same time as the "Color Nite". You pretty much can't use any other feature...

Easy to use

Bad focus, no manual focus

I wouldn't buy it again, but, it does work with firewire with windows 7. I just made a video of a talent show and the sound is really good. The picture quality is not the best, but not bad either for the price. It does have a lot of features. All in...

TERRIBLE!!!!!

 

TERRIBLE!!!!!

Don't waste your money on this piece of hooptie camera. We haven't even filled up enough space for one blank cassette before it started humming really loud and the battery would go dead (even after fully charging it). I took it to the local...
