I got this camorder and have to say this is a great buy. Light weight and easy to use (menu system is straight forward). I would recomend using the USB cable adapter NOT the power adapter for the first time charge. (Red circle indicator MUST be lit). The Lithuim battery holds a 45min charge
otherwise. I would upgrade it to a higher capacity battery.

Its great in full light or out door situations, unless you get a light.
The mic is not all that fantastic either. It has a tripot mount on the bottom though, so there are brackets you can buy that have multible shoes
for lights and mics.

This has a external mic jack (worth the price alone).

Its a little delicate so you have to be careful but a nice camcorder for the price.

I would buy it again!!!

This camera is not your best puchase at all! The only good thing is that it's light. If there is a better offer take it even if it cost more. It is not worth chancing it. I returned this camera after one day for the following reasons.

1. The mic SUCKS and the external mic port is no better no matter what you do to the mic. There are no internal setting for the external or internal mic in any way.

2. It isn't true HD at all. The screen is all fuzzy and so grainy in some places it's just a mess of colors.

3. If you have a mac computer lucky but it's not compatible with any windows program. It recorders in .mov format.

4. It has NO stabalization. Even on a tripod it shakes.

This camera was a terrible purchase, I suggest you go by a $[...] TRUE HD camera instead. Believe me it's worth it!

While I've had the camera for a few weeks now I haven't used too much but I'm pleased with my tests so far. It's very lightweight and easy to shoot with. The on-board mic isn't the best, but it's on par with most other camcorders, the mic jack is nice and makes up for the internal one though. Oddly enough I've used it more for audio recording than video >.>

Strangely enough this is also an mp3 player... I don't know why every electronic device has to have mp3 playback, but this has it incase you have too much room on your SD card and want to listen to some tunes.

I bought this camcorder to film short sports clips indoors at 60hz to be able to play them back at 30hz to better see what is happening. The biggest disappointment is that there doesn't seem to be any way to play back 30hz on the camcorder - only after transferring and playing back the H.264 file in Quicktime am I able to adjust the playback frame rate.
Low-light performance is marginal - pixel noise detracts from the putative HD resolution. Night shot mode is useless for moving subjects.
The unit's interface is somewhat awkward and the unit feels a bit plastic-y and cheap - which it is.
Bottom line is that this budget priced camcorder does what I want it do do, but not as well as I had hoped.

I had to travel for a few weeks and wanted a camera that was portable, took decent pictures and wouldn't hurt me all that much of I broke or lost it. This fit the bill perfectly. I wasn't too concerned with breaking an $80 camera, so I always had it in my bag somewhere. Really, what good is a camera if it's too bulky or precious to carry?

The pros/cons are about the same for every digital camera of this size. The low light video isn't great, the mic isn't great, the pictures/video in outdoors is pretty good.

I had no issues with batter life, and 2 gigs of internal storage is nice for putting music/videos on. Yes, you can put movies and music on this, which came in handy. The interface is so-so. The manual micro/macro lens adjustment can be a pain if you forget to check it.


This is a great little camera for hiking and traveling.

It is an awesome camera for a great price plenty of memory, great resolution, and very discreet. It was exactly what I was looking for, camera and video recorder... great product!!

The price for the flip video minoHD And this product are 50 dollars apart. This video camera is true to it's 720p 60fps. But the onboard mic is horrid. The flip minoHD IS 1080p, the audio and video is STUNNING, and it has an online community and a free video editor(on computer). Spend 50 more dollars and buy something that will truely deliver. Oh yeah and, the flip minoHD has 8GB of storage on cam. So much better.

Fairly good camera...not so pleased with the internal mic...to noisey...video quality is good out doors....another story in door...i would recommend it for semi professional work...
