Good Camera January 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Overall this is a very nice camera. I bought this camera mainly for the infrared nightvision pictures as I am a paranormal investigator. The intesity of the infrared light was amazingly brightier than I had expected and fell in love with the camera from the beginning. Only flaw that I saw I found is it doesn't matter if you are using the infrared or normal camera, it does have a slow shutter speed and a tripod is recommended. You can take some nice picures if you are able to be very still while shooting, but you will have better results with a tripod.

Nice camera for the price. January 10, 2011
By Mom/RN
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this camera for my 13 year old daughter, who recently has gotten into ghost hunting. Since she has a tendency to break things, I was not going to spend a ton of money. This camera takes decent night vision photos, the night vision video is not so great. The normal still pictures it takes are great and the videos are decent. All in all I am happy with this camera, my daughter is also quite pleased with it. If you need a camera for only ghost hunting I would recommend purchasing something specifically made for that, but this is a great starter camera.

I had bought this camera for My paranormal Group and the second time we went to go use this camera the Ir lights on the camera fail to stay on. I can use a Ir light attachment like the 36 led Ir light from Polaroid. but that's an in convenience for taking snapshots at night. I don't have time to keep hooking up extra lights to cameras with led lights that's suppose to work. So now that I have a new camera, only 3 months old, its useless for what I need it for. Amazon has took the option away for me to send it back for a replacement so now were stuck with purchasing a new camera, thanks amazon for your customer support and standing by on your products. This camera is garbage so I wouldn't waste your money.
