Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Continue capturing the action long after the sun has gone down. With the built-in Infrared LED night vision system, even the darkest images will stand out in stark contrast. When the IR mode is engaged, 6 LED lights activate around the lens to allow for shooting in total darkness. The advanced infrared sensor illuminates your view and captures video and photos with precision and clarity.
The large 2.7 inch LCD screen display allows for playback and viewing of your media. It gives you excellent control when framing your shots. The LCD offers brilliant color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle. The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a matte, scratch-resistant coating.
Also features 11 different pre-programmed scene modes, so that pictures are shot in the most optimal and accurate color. The 'Smart' Scene Mode analyzes the shooting condition and automatically enhances the scene with one of 10 pre-programmed settings. The Face Detection and Smile Shutter settings automatically captures faces in a scene, and captures a picture once a smile is detected on the selected subject's face.
The 5X digital zoom and automatic ISO settings allows you to capture memories with ease. The one touch movie mode allows quick, crisp recording at DVD quality level at 30 FPS.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery seamlessly charges using the USB interface while syncing your videos and images. Use any SDHC card up to 16GB for endless recording. The macro switch conveniently located on the left side, allows you to switch between macro and portrait photography. The Bell & Howell S7 Slim is also PictBridge enabled, which allows for wireless printing of your photos with any PictBridge compatible printer.
Includes the Bell & Howell S7 Night Vision Camera, camera pouch, lithium ion rechargeable battery, hand strap, instruction manual, ArcSoft image editing software, power adaptor, USB cable and 2GB SD memory card.

This camera is a great piece of equipment. The IR mode is a wonderful feature, and it has the standard picture mode as well. The picture quality in IR mode is good at best, but what do you expect with 6 IR LED lights? I have noticed smearing if the camera isn't still, which can be somewhat annoying. The video mode gives very good quality as well, however there is no sound playback on the camera. It has to be uploaded to the computer. I ordered an IR illuminator which will fix this problem in an instant. The battery life is good at best as well, however I discovered that the camera actually charges off of my car charger for my BlackBerry. I was VERY excited when discovering this.
Even if you're not a paranormal investigator, this camera is still very good for regular picture taking. The IR mode in daylight gives a VERY cool effect on photos. In the dark, the flash good indoors, and even outdoors, it's pretty good. There is no sound feedback on the camera when reviewing videos, everything needs uploaded to the computer.
All in all, for the price, this camera is a HUGE steal. It even comes with a 2 GB memory card, and a carrying pouch. It also comes with the software and USB cable/charger. If you're a paranormal investigator or not, this is definitely a GREAT product and you won't be let down!

Just purchased and tested a brand new Bell & Howell SB7 night vision camera. Small form factor and small video and sound performance. I really wanted this camera to work for my ghost hunting but it is the worst video and sound quality out of any camera I have owned in the last 8 years. See the video review and see the video quality (or lack of ) for yourself. If you are serious about a real ghost hunting camera, check out the real deal, a "paraspectrum" camcorder from [...]

Nice camera. I bought it just for the night vision. It's small and lightweight. The night vision is great but really need a tripod so the pic taken isn't blurry. The range of night vision is good for a room but not really outside too much. The battery doesn't last too long but overall it was worth the price.
