GREAT VIDEO. AUDIO QUALITY WORST EVER! DON’T BUY! by Ryan Ohm
This camera has excellent quality images and video, but when it comes to audio it SUCKS!

DUring playback of a video you hear clicking noises (from using the zoom feature) and internal noises (from the camera). NOT WORTH the MoNEY. SAVE an additional 100 bucks and buy something better!!!

Great little camcorder by R. West
I love this camcorder. We took it on a 2-week trip, and used it every day. So easy, great still pics (3, 5, or 8 mp, your choice) and very nice video. Can’t comment on hd quality — haven’t hooked ip up to hd tv yet, but have downloaded video to computer to watch, and it looks pretty good. Camera is very small, fits in a pocket. Comes with battery (about 2 hrs record time) and cords for hooking up to pc (downloading content and recharging battery), watching video on tv (reg and hd, separate cords included), and regular ac charger. We picked up an extra battery (about $15) and a 4G video card (none was included w/camera) (about $20). This gave us 4 hours of recording time before recharge and download were necessary — plenty for our needs. Super easy to use, auto adjusts to most conditions. Didn’t do well at night, even on night setting, unless object you were filming was well lit againt dark background. (We tried to film some ducks swimming at night, and just got black.) Camera has a tripod fitting, but we didn’t have a tripod with us, so video can be shaky if you don’t hold camera still — not too much of a problem, except when we were on a boat. All in all we were very pleased with this camera, and price is fantastic. Plan to give at least one as a Christmas gift this year. (Be careful when you use zoom, give camera time to self adjust before snapping pic, or it will be blurry.)

Good HD camera for the money by M. Sliger
This camera has decent video quality at 720p and pretty good snapshot quality. I have an 8GB SDHC card which holds lots of pictures and video.

The downsides to this camera are low-quality digital zoom. Picture and video quality suffers under less than ideal lighting conditions. Video audio quality is only good for recoding the camera operator due to the type and position of the microphone.

Another issue is video editing. The H.264 format is not widely supported yet but that is due to change in the near future. Editing is difficult and the format is not completely supported at a relatively low bit-rate.

Makes a great gift by T. J. Thomas
I bought this as a birthday gift for my wife. She was a little tentative at first, but now she says it is “the best gift I have ever gotten.” BIG husband points for that. The camera is easy to operate, and takes great video and great stills. Lightweight, small size, uses sd cards and usb cables to connect to a laptop. Just buy it, you won’t be sorry.
