pocket sized fun Sep 05, 2010 This is my second video camera I've owned the last on took small cassette tapes so I always had to have a large bag for tapes batteries etc.... when I got this one it was awesome it fit right in my pocket and the memory cards I carry fit into a small wallet. I have taken video of sports games etc. and have posted them on my web page . the quality is great and the price was unbelievable. I would recommend this camera to anyone starting out with video or just wanting something to capture those special moments.
good for the price Aug 11, 2010 PROS: Good picture quality, very portable, usb charger is a big plus, and you can choose what quality of video you shoot
Cons: I am an armature ghost hunter and got this so i could use my infrared illuminator with it but... it can hardly see it so i cant use it for ghost hunting without taking out the infrared filter. But i dont think ill do that. Also in low light on night mode it gets very choppy and grainy.
All in all its a pretty good camera for family events and streaming video onto the computer.

Put down the camcorder, and move far, far away... Aug 11, 2010 So I recently purchased this camcorder and then went back to the store and returned it the next day. If you want to waste $100 on a camcorder you won't really be able to use then by all means, splurge, but if you want to make quality videos then stay away from this one. Seriously, I know that $100 may seem like a steal, and if you are wanted to make short home movies to quickly email or post online then $100 should get you what you want, but this camcorder can't even do that. The quality of the video is actually sharp, but the lighting needed to get a good shot is ridiculous. The slightest dim in the room and the shot gets incredibly darker than it should. The sound is a HUGE issue. The speaker is in the rear of the camera so the only person you can hear on your recordings is the one holding the camera. This is a big flaw if the whole reason you purchased this is to take videos of your kids. I can't even hear my kid's voices! The video's also record in an AVI format, which means that they won't play in your usual computer software (like Microsoft Video Player) and you'll need to find an AVI player that will actually play these files. I tried three different ones and none of them would work. In fact, the files this camera created CRASHED MY COMPUTER. Also, one of the big draws to this camera was that it took still photos. I have a camera, but if I can alleviate having to carry two items, I'm all for that. The photos that this camera takes are worse than the ones I can take with my phone. They are grainy and out of focus and dark. It's horrible. If the videos this camcorder took were better quality (and easier to watch) I would have kept it, regardless of the photograph quality, but alas, the whole camcorder is a mess. I seriously don't understand ANYONE giving this five-stars. It is a terrible camcorder and I think everyone should be warned so they don't waste time and money on this garbage!

This little guy is incredible!! Jul 29, 2010 I bought this camera a few years back from Best Buy and really just abused it. I never kept it in its case. I left it in the car in the sun. I let kids use it. This thing is a tank!
The newer model is entirely plastic and may boast better stats, it sucks compared to this one.
My first one finally crapped out on me, so I got on here and bought another one immediately. For 40 bucks I got another one brand new!
Here is why I love it:
1. In good light it takes incredibly high quality stills. Much higher resolution than 5MP even.
2. It records to SD.
3. Has a li-on battery that lasts forever and is easy to find backups for.
4. It is 1/3rd the price of a flip video, but it 10 times better because it will zoom, records to SD, and it takes stills.
5. It records in avi and not some unknown codec to computers.
6. It is built very well. The newer model is entirely plastic and feels like the viewfinder is going to snap off, but this one is very sturdy and is comprised mostly of metal.
7. Has some manual focus settings.
8. The pictures and video are true to what you see in the viewfinder. With some cheap cameras your pics look fine when you take them, but when you look at them later they are blurred or out of focus.
Here is why it is cheap:
1. No optical zoom. (the digital zoom just pixelates everything)
2. Requires a lot of light. It tries to adjust to low light but it compromises a couple megapixels and color quality to do so.
3. Slow shutter speed. If you are taking a group picture push the button on the count of 1 and it will finally take when you get to 3.
4. The microphone is on the back instead of the front. The cameraman will be heard very well, but his subjects will not.
You won't find a better camera under $150. Perfect for adults and kids of all ages. If it breaks (which is quite difficult to do) its super cheap to replace. Everyone should have one of these.

Great People do Deal with Jul 12, 2010 This camera is excellent. We did have a problem with a manufacturers defect on the first one sent - but the sellers were great. They stand behind their products, and sent out a replacement at no charge with express mail on the very day we informed them of the problem.
I spoke with them by phone as well - I feel very comfortable dealing with them and encouraging others to do so.
