This review is from: DXG 579V Blue Hi-Def Pocket Camcorder (Electronics)

Had this for a few months now. It is capable of some VERY nice photos and more than decent video.

I would say its only drawbacks are its very poor LOW LIGHT performance. It has a NIGHT setting, but this really does nothing, so do not plan to film dark nightclubs, concerts, night-time camping, etc...

Internal Memory is about 3 pictures, so remember to get a good Memory Card. If you get a 32gb card, you will run out of batteries about 2 times before you fill that card. I use only 8gb and have chocked it full for days.

It is a little awkward in the hand for long filming, but has a tripod connect on the bottom, which I would say is really required for long family films and weddings.

I do wish it had a lens cap, I worry about scratching when it sits in my pocket.

Overall...stable software, easy to use, very portable, great camera for the price.

For starters one thing to take in mind with this camcorder is that it's cheap. It isn't a professional camcorder and you shouldn't expect it to be. First thing I noticed about this camcorder is that it has nice quality as advertised, it isn't perfect, but it is much better than a vga camera. The screen is a good size and the batteries last moderately long. They wouldn't last for a 2-3 hour for one event, but since they are AAA, you can bring a spare pack. The zoom works moderately good too, it does jerk a little when zooming in, but hey, its digital zoom and it doesn't degrade the picture too much. Some have said it has bad poor lighting shots, but only if it's an exceptionally dark room. A normal lit room will work fine. The sound is not so good, you can here a lot and some times you can't be heard on the camera. One thing this camera is not good at at all is taking pictures, unless you have a tripod it won't work, but it is a CAMCORDER, not a camera. As an overall camera, if you want to make youtube videos or music videos or some random videos once in a while, this is the camera for you. Otherwise, spend some more for a non-cheap camera.
