Product Description

The Wonder Cam WS-201 is a tapeless digital camcorder utilizing flash memory cards to store video, still images, MP3 and audio recording files. It is the best 5-in-1 camcorder in the world today. It delivers a superb VGA (640x480) quality at 28 frames per second (FPS) by using MPEG-4 compression technology. Don't worry about storage limitations; the SD card slot creates an infinite capacity of up to 2GB at a time. The Wonder Cam is designed in Japan by the same OEM company making digital cameras for Konica (not the new Konica Minolta) and Vivicam. Advantages: It's a third of the size of the smallest digital MiniDV camcorder costing over $1000, and tapeless portability allows you to capture MPEG-4 video anywhere. After you drag-and-drop your captured video files onto your desktop you can watch, edit, and even e-mail them to your friend. With the included WinDVD software and a PC with a DVD recorder, you can edit and burn your video collection into a DVD. Best of all, it is also a 4 Mega Pixel digital camera, a MP3 player and a digital voice recorder. You can download MP3 songs from Internet, save them onto a SD card and listen with this camcorder. You can also go into a meeting with this camcorder to record all the conversations. All four different types of files can be mixed into the camcorder to be recalled with the On Screen Display. It can be directly hooked up to a TV to view or playback all 4 types of files instantly. The Wonder Cam WC-201 is attractive with a slinky round metal plastic body. It is easy to use, with separate shutter releases for stills and video. The 1.5-inch flip out screen is sharp and can rotate 270 degrees. The lens is all glass optics with 2X digital zoom. It uses cheap AA size batteries. It captures up to 4-megapixels snaps (with flash) with good colors and plenty of detail.

1.0 out of 5 stars not impressed, August 2, 2006

This review is from: Wonder Cam VGA Quality 5-in-1 Camcorder, 4 MP Digital Camera, and MP3

what did i expect for an item under $150? i guess after reading the other reviews, i was thinking maybe the video quality was going to be decent for the price. but this is not the case. the video is choppy, grainy, has unexpected flashes of color variation, and won't play properly with my windows media player versions 9 or 11. the sound is out of sync with the video, which will only play in slow motion. the flip out lcd screen is shoddy and a little crooked, so it's often hard to tell if you are getting a level shot. the webcam function is dark and grainy and barely passable. the power and picture and video buttons and levers are awkwardly placed, so that the camera shakes quite a bit when pausing or stopping what you are filming. other than that--it makes a nice paperweight. if you are buying a toy for your budding young photographer, i guess this would make a nice gift, but if you want an actual functioning, useable camera that produces videos with some semblance of quality, this is not your purchase. the old adage still proves to be true: you get what you pay for.

This review is from: Wonder Cam VGA Quality 5-in-1 Camcorder, 4 MP Digital Camera, and MP3

I love this camera! Very easy and quick to use. No manipulation to switch from photo to video mode. Switches on very quickly. Batteries last for ages (well almost) And the videos are astounding ! Very good sound quality too.

Mp3 player is ok. Just does the work.

drawback : cannot listen to mp3s and take pics / videos at the same time (well I figured it'd look cool...)
