The good news is the camera takes good video, is small enough to carry everywhere and has decent battery life. It also comes with a case, mini tripod and remote. The bad news is the autofocus is very very slow. It is also awkward to hold..." Read Full Review »

Poor Video, tight field of view

"Reviews on this and other sites were generally good. An HD camera for so little money that was so small, seemed too good to be true, and it is. Indoor video was really not good. It was grainy even in decent indoor lighting. And the widest setting was way too tight for everyday shots indoors of kids, etc. And the battery didn't last very long. Disappointing...."

"This product is lightweight and easy to use. The picture taking feature requires some practice or you will get blur. It is set so close-up that you can't film much unless you are a good distance away from the action. The audio is less than stellar and on playback does not match the lip movement. …"  Read Full Review »
