5.0 out of 5 stars Small, Fun and Simple Personal Camcorder, November 6, 2007
Length:: 0:42 Mins

This is a great little camera. It is perfect for quick little movies of your kids etc and would be a nice compact item to take on a vacation. The camera is ridiculously easy to use and the built is software loads straight from the camera.

I only have two issues w/ the camera: One is that it doesn't take stills as well. That would have been a nice feature but hey for $149 and having a camcorder to fit in your pocket w/ decent video? I'll take. The second is that w/ out any external light source it would not take good video in low light. It is essentially a really nice cell phone camera that allows you a much easier way to get your videos onto your computer and uploaded to other people.

For convienence, size and ease of use I'll still give it a 5.

I'm so glad you had a great experience but mine won't even start. I push down the side panel like it says, release, the screen flashes for a second and then that's it. I can't do anything else with it. I've emailed customer service but I already know what they're going to say...sorry for the inconvenience but you have a defective one. Well I don't have time to be inconvenienced I had plans to use it this weekend. This was my first camcorder and I thought it might be good starter one but for the price I paid I guess I shouldn't be surprised it doesn't work...I think I'll just be happy with my digital camera until I can afford to purchase from a more reliable company.

That's too bad :(. Having a defective product can happen with any provider. Considering how many have been sold (and how many Oprah just gave away) I don't think it has been reported as a common occurrence.
