Customer Review: Nice little camera
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice little camera for a doting gramma like me to take movies of the grandkids.
My old camcorder is not supported by Vista and I still haven't figured out a way to download my old videos to my new laptop. As most of my videos are of short duration of something incredibly cute being done by a toddler, I thought this would be very handy and inexpensive. Plus, it is compatible with Vista.
It is very easy to use and takes both video and stills, a nice feature.
It uses AA batteries, which is good and bad. If you know you are going to be away from your charger, such as camping or picnicing, you can just carry a few extra batteries, but replacing batteries can add costs and can be a real pain if you need to do it often. I have rechargeable AA's I intend to use. I've filmed only about 20-30 minutes so far, played them back on my TV several times, plus taken several stills and haven't changed the batteries.
It has removeable memory, which I like. These micro SD's are so cheap now, you really don't need to erase and film over if you don't want to. I have extra cards in case I am away from my laptop and can't download the pics. This might be a good feature, too, when Windows replaces Vista and doesn't support this camera any more.
I load the pics to my laptop from the card rather than using the USB connection. I like not having to find the dongle when I want to download pics. However, the card is not easy to access. You pull the front of the camera off and the card is between the batteries.
It includes a cable to feed directly to your TV, which the grandkids love, a nice little carrying case, a wrist strap, and the USB connection.
It is very small, a little bigger than a deck of cards, so it's easy to take everywhere. The down side of this, for me, is that it is hard to keep the camera steady while I am filming. I guess that will take some practice.
The film quality is considerably better than my cell phone, but marginally worse than my old camcorder. Considering that I am turning out shaky gramma pictures of hyperactive children, that is not a consideration at all. This camera does well adapting to changes in light, such as the kids running from a dark room into full sunlight or standing in front of a brightly lighted window.
The stills are not as good as my digital camera, but better than no picture at all.
I am glad I bought this and I use it quite often, much more than I would my digital camera or my old camcorder. I make little DVD's for my grandkids and they love them. It was worth what I paid just for that.
To put this in perspective, I recently found several reels of Super 8 movie film from the early '70's and had them converted to DVD. We watched spellbound at images of a sweet little toddler who is now in her 30's. There were surprising glimpses of people long dead or lost with us again. It didn't matter to us that the film was grainy and the color quality was horrible. Nor did it matter that there were pictures of the ceiling or great gramma's behind. It was a momentary trip to a time long past and that is, after all, what home movies are about.
