NOT BAD FOR $200.00 new at ebay!

 

I HAVE HAD THIS CAMERA FOR 5 MONTH. I love the small size considering I'm using a video camera plus a somewhat weak digital camera in one. I have used the camera for pictures more often than for movies. It's very convenient not to have to carry around ...

Small, still pics and video, low price

No so good still pics, specially at night

compact design, photo mode, ease of hookup with computer

No light, no night mode, lower quality photo mode

Sharp or Not Sharp???

 

Well in the age of digital everything, we decided to go digital with our video camera. My husband has a DVD burner at work, and we thought what a great way to make our videos with so many options!

Unbeatable value of any DV camera for your buck

 

I wanted a new digital camcorder with I-link to PC and a still camera with a memory card in one for around $500. I could't afford SONY with all desired functions, it runs for about $700, so I looked around. I went to Circuit City. I saw it, I played...

Easy to use, multitude of functions for a low price

Short batery life 1.5/3.0 hours
