Customer Review: A solid little digital camcorder
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a small, inexpensive video camera that I could use to record concert footage, little video blogs, and other nonsense to send home to my family. This little camcorder has worked fine for my needs.
Pros:
- Inexpensive. I bought mine for a little under $100.
- Decent video quality, particularly if the video is left in .avi format.
- Very user friendly. You can take it right out of the box, use it, and easily upload the videos to your computer. The buttons are self explanatory, and for those of you who are not computer savvy, it will be simple to use.
- The screen in the back flips foreward if you want to record yourself, something the flip camcorder did not have. The screen is also a fine size for the price.
- It can also take screenshots of video and save them as pictures (.bmp I believe).
- It can be expanded with the purchase of an extra SD card. Even without the SD card, it records 30 minutes in high quality and 60 minutes n low quality which should be enough for my purposes. I would suggest an SD card for anyone going on an extended vacation though.
- It has simple attachments to the TV to view the video directly on a TV. I can't comment too much on this since I have yet to use the feature.
Cons:
- The sound receiver isn't wonderful, to be honest. It is fine for taking videos of family vacations where you are narrating the trip or something, but if you are taping a concert or something, the sound quality is less than ideal. Background noise isn't a problem really, but it's just not as loud as one would hope.
- It is also hard to hear the sound when you playback the video on the camcorder. This is not such a big deal though, since I am sure most people won't be watching their videos entirely on the camera.
- The zoom only goes to 2x digital, so you are better off getting closer to the object in question than trying to zoom in on it.
- As expected, it eats batteries like there is no tomorrow. I am going to have to invest in some rechargable batteries if I am going to continue to use this little gadget...
- The video editing program that comes with the camera is sort of a joke. From what I can tell, all it can do is crop videos. You wll want to probably use another program to edit your videos, but most computers come with some sort of movie editing program (Windows movie maker will probably do)
- It does not work on Macs. I'm not a Mac owner, so I don't care about this though.
- The videos lose alot of clarity if taped in the low resolution mode. They look even worse once they are transferred into .wmv files. If at all possible, I would tape everything in high res and leave it in .avi format.
I am still glad I bought this digital camera. Since I am just uploading onto youtube and sending crappy home videos home to my parents, I don't need any wonderful quality videos. Youtube quality vids are fine enough for me. I also really like the little flip screen. If the flip camcorder ever added a flip screen and an optional SD card upgrade to their camcorder, I might reccommend that camcorder over this one, but for the time being this one suits me better.
