Great Camcorder for the price. Video Quality is great, however the mic pretty much sucks for anything other than the guy holding the camcorder, tho this is to be expected, so if you want to record anything with good audio you'll need a separate mic.
It records with the h.264 (mp4) codec inside of a .mov container, but the file extension may be changed to .mp4 or .avi to play it on almost any pc.
Battery lasts about 45 minutes, I picked up some extras here on amazon for about $4 with shipping, and they work just as well as the manufacturer's battery.
Get a tripod, Magix Movie Edit 15 Pro, and set up a green screen for the ultimate camcording fun! Check out YouTube's demo video's by searching DXG-581v if you haven't thought of that already!

Really can't do better for the ~$100-120 price range. Very small, portable... only cons is that it doesn't have image stabilization and better zoom and wide angle.. but for the price you can work around its weaknesses.. you can easily carry this and a flashlight in the same pocket to overcome the need for a light.. A tripod helps for long recordings..

I have been using this camcorder for a while and seems to be doing what it is supposed to. I keep capturing precious moments with this handy camcorder which is a good value for the money spent. I will recommend this to all my friends.

i want to go in detail like some people does but i dont have the time @ this moment. i honestly did not have the cash to spend $600-$1,000 or more so i went cheap and specially an unknown brand. but man i was impressed. i have and HD TV w/ auto motion 120hz and i guess that what also made it a little bit better. so if you are in a rush and you dont want to miss anything becuase u can't affort it well this is a suggestion i am giving you. but ya true HD does cost a fortune but eventually i am thinking of getting 3D HD. why get HD when u can't get the newest technology 'till then i am very happy w/ this gadget.

This is a good product for the money. It could use a better zoom for scenery films, but I like it.

I bought this camera because it was inexpensive and I wanted to be able to make some family video. When the product arrived it was dead out of the box. The battery would not charge. The camera would not work, even when plugged in. The green LED would light up and that was it. Complete and total junk.

Excellent HD Camcorder. The size, price, and ease of use make this ideal for quick video shots. I highly recommend it.

I bought this product on Walgreens.com. The reason I am writing this here is because I want people to know how their customer support is bad.

Like I said, I bought this on walgreens.com because it was about 50% off sale. When I got it, the battery charger or battery didn't work. So, I couldn't even use it. So, I had to return it to Walgreen and they said they couldn't take because I lost the packing slip for the product. So, they told me to contact the DXG manufacturer to replace it. So, I call them several times but I couldln't talk to anybody. Even I emailed several times and the result was same. It's been about a month.
What an irresponsible company! I even haven't ever heard of the name DXG in electronics market until I saw this product on walgreens.com. How could this company expect or deserve to be a brand name company by treating customers like this?
Buyers beware of their customer support. And I never ever buy products from this company again!
