A great camera!
2009-04-03This camera is affordable and takes pictures that parallel that of my Cannon Powershot 8MP camera. The screen is large, and the video is great! This is an excellent product!!

Good value
2009-02-01Bought for my daughter for Christmas. It's easy for her to use and is built well. Good value for the price.

Awesome Gift
2009-01-06the Camera wsa a xmas gift and my wife loved it she always wanted one, I did have a problem trying to figure out how to run it though. but other than that it was awesome.

Decent value
2007-06-06Has a nice big bright LCD screen.
Zoom occurs in eight rapid "click-stop" stages, not smoothly like more expensive camcorders.
After pushing the "ON" button, this camcorder is ready to go in about four seconds.
There's a threaded hole on the bottom for tripod placement.
There's no lens cover included, and since the lens is almost flush with the body of the unit, there's no way to use one.
Unit has a flat bottom, but with the LCD screen pivoted open, unit become "left-heavy" and will tip over.

Great Camera for the price But not for Indoor or Night use
2007-05-25I just bought camera about a month ago and have used it during my wedding and honeymoon. This camera is Great if you want to take outside shots. It stores everything to a 2GB sd card which gives you about 1hr of record time. I bought 3 cards but only used 1 card for the whole honeymoon etc... and to off load it to a PC is so easy. I love it but my only complain is it's poor capturing in low light. Inside buildings with low light come out even darker than normal and u can forget about recording anything at night but for the price it's great.

Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.
For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch.

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with
the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The
formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C,
8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has
its pros and cons
VHS
The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder
is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back
the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS
camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital
video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution,
VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more
and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video
camera used because their technology is now outdated.
VHS-C
The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog
camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use
the same technology. The video tapes u ...
