5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun for American Idol junkies, April 27, 2005

This is a really great product for older kids and teens. My kids (6, 9 and 11) had a ton of fun shooting with the camera and recording songs. But they were really into the software because it let them edit their own footage with video right from episodes of American Idol, not this season but last. They can put their own video of themselves singing, right on the stage from the show! Plus they really got into creating crowd cheers and applause for their own performance...more cheers than they get at home or in school. This will be a big hit for kids and teens, and probably a lot of older fans of the show too.

The camera works great. My daughter really enjoyed it. The one complaint I have is there is no easy way to contact their tech support for assistance because the CD that came with it does not install the driver fort he camcorder correctly. Luckily my daughter had a friend who purchased this same camcorder about 8 months prior and the CD that came with it had an earlier software version and driver and we were able to complete the installation.

This is a fun gadget for the kids. However, it did not come with any instructions. If my boys (ages 9 and 12) hadn't used the device at the science museum movie camp this summer we never would have figured out how to use it. (Plus my husband is a software developer. That helped too).

The boys made stop-gap animation movies using their matchbox cars. The quality is decent for what we paid for it.
