RCA EZ205 Small Wonder Digital Camcorder with 2 Hour Recording and 1GB Included Memory

This is my basic review of the EZ205. I hope it's helpful in determining whether or not to purchase it. One thing I did not mention in the video clip was the digital zoom, which is pretty much a non feature and tends towards big time blurry. Not a big deal if you're not planning on using it.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Features For Less Money, June 30, 2008

By	Rex Rivers "Wrecks" (Wichita, Kansas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here are the reasons I bought this digital camcorder over others.

1. It has a flip to front display that will allow you to see yourself while you are recording.

2. Excellent resolution (not quality, RESOLUTION). The 640 by 480 video recordings are near DVD resolution (which is 720 by 480).

3. Still pictures. This camera also takes 1280 by 960 still pictures. I don't know why they don't stress this in the sales information. This was a real deal maker for me.

4. AA batteries. Some digital camcorders have to be plugged into a USB port to recharge. I'd rather just put in another set of common batteries and go on recording. Though I do use rechargeable batteries in mine. They work fine.

5. The video is stored on a mini SD card. Want more recording time? Just swap in another card. Plus you can put the card in a reader and copy it to your computer directly, skipping the USB connection entirely.

6. This camera comes with a nice carrying case and all the cables you will need for the same price other's charge for just the camera.

3.0 out of 5 stars Small Wonder is just ok...but read my follow-up., July 30, 2008

The RCA Small Wonder is not as great as I thought it was going to be.

I was excited when I read the reviews, but I should have looked around the www a bit more to see how it works with Mac before placing my order.
The reason why I opted for this cam instead of the Flip was because of the removable card...turns out its a major pain to take the card out, not just a pop-out-the-side one like I thought it would be...my fault for not doing more research though.

Actually, it works ok with Mac, you simply plug it in and you can easily get the files and drag them onto the desktop. You can even open up the video in any number of programs that play AVI files, but I don't seem to get any audio in any app besides VLC...I open the RCA video files in Quicktime Pro, Final Cut Pro, whatever, there's no audio, this means I can't edit! Pretty much why I bought this!
If I could edit the video files, it would get 5 stars... can anyone help?

Also, the still pictures that it takes aren't great...think of a 1 MP cam-phone.

Should've gotten Ultra Flip instead.

Follow-up comment...

I found a great way to convert any file into any format!
VisualHub (forgot I even had this), will do just that. Now I'm able to take the AVI files that the Small Wonder utilizes, and convert them into DV for use in Final Cut Pro or iMovie.

Very pleased with my RCA Small Wonder now!

Only wish I could bump my rating of this cam up 1 star...
