I was weary to buy this product because no one had reviewed it. I've never written a review myself but I think I should put a stop to this thing's despicable anonymity.

It's a HD camera purported to have been squeezed into a tiny hand held shape for a mere 130 some dollars.

Yes, That's right... it's way too good to be true.

The long and short is... because of the high(er) resolution (this is 720p not 1080i --full HD current standard) the actual frame rate of your films will be around 15fps, not the reported 30 fps. The result is nauseatingly jumpy video. Couple that with lackluster low light abilities and a real crappy image stabilization system and you get video that is UNWATCHABLE.

I returned mine and am going to get the more proven and able Flip Video Ultra.

I know it's cheap, so maybe I should go easy but... It doesn't really do anything but produce unwatchable video. What would I pay for that? Not $100, not &10 not nothin'!

Stay Away.

I got this for a 13 year old and I think it will be just fine for a 13 year old. I don't think I would use this as a family video camera. It's not the best quality, but ok for a teenager. I did test it out and it seems ok, but I didn't download the video on the computer, just played it back on the lcd. Sound seems a little low. The light seems fine and shakeyness was only when I didn't steady my hand. Overall feel of this seems a little cheaply made. It's very light until you put the 2 AA's in. I paid [...] at another "giant retailer" and I debated taking it back after reading the reviews here, but like I said, it is for a teenager, so I will probably keep it. Although, I would NOT pay 239.00 which was supposedly the retail price.
