I love this camera. I am glad I have both options. The reason I didn't give it a five is because still pictures are hard to take but when I can't take a still picture I just take a video. So it works out.

This camera is great!! I love the size because it isn't all big and bulky. It is really cute and stylish. It takes wonderful video, its pictures could be better, but it is a video camera. It was well worth the money spent. I would deffinetly recommend to anyone. Ü

It was Easy to use. But would love a power cord to use when watching on the T.V. so I don't have to use the batteries up. Did not find the software to download so user friendly. But it does take awesome video's and great zoom.

Loved the colors : ) It is fun to operate, pretty easy to figure out. Would like it more if it had some kind of light to video in the evening or indoors but for the price it is pretty good. It was my way of seeing my grandbabies as they grow, because i bought one for myself also my daughter can just send me the little card in the mail and I pop it into my camera and watch the video or look at the pictures,,,I think it is Awesome!!!!

I gave a camcorder to both my granddaughter and grandson last Christmas. I thought the product was VERY small and I never heard anymore about my gift. It usually means either it broke or they didn't find the camcorder interesting. I wouldn't advise spending your money on this product. Save your money until you can give a better product.

The shipping was excellent, fast and well packaged.

Recently had received a DXG 533V camera as a Xmas gift from a family member. It's a HD model sold via the Shopping Channel and pretty much the same unit as the 535 and 580 models.
First impression out of the box was cheap plasticy and gimmicky. Controls were the first source of utter frustration, just trying find out how to turn the damn thing on or start recording was a pain in the ass. Nothing was intuitive or clearly marked. Swear to God someone in China who never had used a camera in their life must have been given the task for the design of this thing.
I could give a dozen things but here's just a couple .
There's a tiny little scroll type wheel that you have to ever so carefully try and use to scroll with your thumb for a whole variety of functions being extremely carefully not to at the same time be pressing it to hard while trying to scroll otherwise you will inadvertently be making a selection of something you don't want to select. And yes within a day of using it this happened while simply trying to delete one vid all our vids got deleted with no "Are you sure you want to delete all files?" option being givin as a safe guard.
In addition the recording quality was pitiful with numerous vids having sound and picture out of sync and audio recording of musical instruments sounding wobbly in places etc.
In addition there's no way to use the camera as a HD webcam or as a direct feed Movie Maker type software as most other cameras do now which was a major drawback.
Then when we couldn't find the CD driver that came with it we went to the website to try and download it only to find no listing for this model at all. Called today and tried to get an answer why there was no listing and got some very rude tech support guy that basically gave no apology for the frustration and hassle I had to go through in not finding it on their site and just dismissed the issue by saying well you don't need it to download vids to my computer anyway. (Well my computer running Vista actually does not recognize this camera when plugged in and doesn't find the drivers.) I tried to explain that my original question was how do I get the download of the proper drivers that came with the camera he starting pulling some A Hole power trip on me claiming I interrupted him etc. and just got belligerent with me. I told him where to stick it and hung up.
Only reason hadn't immediately returned it was it was a gift and didn't want to offend a family member by telling them what a frustration the whole camera had been.
So my advice, stay clear of all that this company has to offer.
Cheers
