1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be taken., January 11, 2006

These cameras/camcorders are of cheap quality. They fall apart quickly. (We got ours last night and this morning had trouble getting it to work.) The company does not supply the right drivers for the camera to work with Windows Xp and they are not available from the website. Filming in low lighting is a joke - all you see is a black screen. The zoom is only digital zoom, so if you zoom in closely, the pixels are huge. On the camera it says "Effective 3.1 MP - MAXIMUM 12 MP" Pretty much - you never get 12 mp quality (false advertising). If you want that kind of quality, go spend the 1500-2000 dollars that reliable retailers are asking. This looks and works like a child's toy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleased, December 12, 2005

I am pretty pleased with this product. I just got it and it works wonderfully. It takes excellent video (The video is a bit grainy because the video resolution isn't the best so if you are buying it for the video i would go with a mini-DV camera.) The pictures are awesome and with the 2" lcd on it you can see what you are taking pictures and video of. It also is an MP3 player.

Con's - To be effective you really need to buy an SD card. it has some memory on it but i can get about 3 good pictures on it and about 10 seconds of video before it runs out of memory. It takes up to a 1 GB card so you can get about 3 hours out of it. The focusing is difficult when tried to do closeups . I tried to take a very close up of something and it didn't work all that well.

Over all I think this is a magnificent product and I would highly recommend it. It's so small and portable!

Pinhole Camera
well, Look at the lens yourself. This uses a pinhole camera's lens which is very tiny. and I meant it, TINY!!!consider this similar to a low quality webcam. That is the quality you will get. look at the lens before you buy a camera. Conclusion: THIS IS GARBAGE!!!
