The unit suffers from a very low volume playback, so the video & MP3 players are useless with headphones. The only audio the unit can record comes from a low quality built-in mic prone to picking up noise from camera handling. And since the LCD must be open for the unit to power up, using the voice recorder..." Read Full Review »

I have not used all the features yet but so far have found it easy to use and am looking forward to just playing aroun..." Read Full Review »

Does real well with video & pictures as long as the zoom feature is not zoomed in on the subject. It tends to look pixela …"  Read Full Review »

Pros, A lot of fun and it slips in my pocket. The VDO is comparable to my first VHS that was 30-50 times the size. Stil …"  Read Full Review »

"Overall its a great easy to use camera. I love the fact that you can put mp3s and record from tv on it. The resolution is wonderful but in the "night shot" mode the image or video will blur and streak. Its great for everyday use and, for the price its great! "
