The digital camcorder that I recieved is a nice camcorder but overall, it doesn't give the results that I would like, especially for the price I paid I could have actually got a larger camcorder for if not the same or lesser price. The camcorder pics online makes it seems as big as your hand but it's actually smaller than a digital camera. I was disappointed with what I recieved but, I like the pictures that it takes...,another disappointing factor is the amount of recording memory it holds, horrible. I will have to upgrade camcorders within a few months.

my 5 year old can use it!
rating: 5
I bought this for my husband who is deploying next month. We took it with us to some caves to test it out and my 5 year old worked it the whole time. I was so impressed with its battery time (lasted over 3 hours) and it is so easy to use ( my 5 year old was a pro at it with little instruction). I think the quality of the pictures and video were really good espically since it doesn't have a light and we used it in some of the caves. The small size was great, I could put it in my purse or my husband put it in his shirt pocket. He is really looking forward to using the MP3 player on the trip overseas and the web camera. I highly recommend this little device especially for the price.

Best money I ever spent
rating: 4
This is the funkiest little gadget I've ever had the pleasure of owning. For what you're paying, you couldn't ask for anything more. Of course, there are some cons to the numerous pros.
I use it mostly for the MP3 player, which I listen to for about an hour a day on my way to and from work. You may have heard complaints that the screen seems to overheat, and this is true if you leave it on, but just by pressing the display button you can power it off, which keeps it cool and saves big time on the battery.
You won't win any prizes for photography with this, as the pictures leave a lot to be desired. I rarely use it for this purpose. The quality is about the same as a picture taken from a cell phone, with the colors coming out funny and bright lights showing as black dots.
The video camera function is surprisingly good however, especially when you use the tripod provided. Moving it around freehand can cause some distortion on playback. If you get a decent size card for it though (512mb or so) you can record for a couple of hours providing the battery holds up.
All in all, a great little gadget. If I could import these to Ireland for resale, I'd be a very rich man.

Good for the price but no flash....
rating: 3
Here are the pros and cons of this digital camera:
Pros:
*Low price
*Multifunctional (MP3, video, pictures, sound recorder)
*Works good with sunlight on outdoor enviroments
*Videos are also really good if taken on outdoor enviroments
*Has an MP3 player so you can play your favorite music
*Can connect to your TV to play the videos or pictures
*Somewhat easy to use
Cons:
*NO FLASH!
*Completely useless indoors if room is not well lit or during the night
*Only comes with a 32Mb memory... enough for 54 pictures at max resolution or about 6 min of video
*If using as an MP3 player or if you plan on taking a lot of videos you should consider getting a larger memory (at least 256Mb)
*Picture quality is not bad... but worse than most high quality digital cameras
I would give it 4 stars if it had a flash... but since it doesn't I give it 3 stars! My conclusion... If you are not an MP3 fan or if you plan on taking lots of pics by night, consider spending a bit more and get another cam that has a flash and offers a higher resolution. If you are short on cash and don't plan on taking a lot of pictures by night then consider getting this cam.

Excellent Camera, for the price
rating: 5
I purchased this camera about two weeks ago and for the price, it's perfect. The pictures come out great with outdoor pictures, but indoor photos can be a little pixilated. The list of features on it is quite impessive for the size and price. With MPEG4 encoding and mp3 player built in, and four picture modes in an easy to use menu. Excellent camera overall for the price.
