This is a terrific little camcorder, living proof that while you can't get something for nothing, you can get a lot for a little. At $150 (plus $20 or so for an SD memory card), it is "priced to fit any budget" and packed with cool features. Since I bought it three months ago it has become a virtual appendage, and I am not a person who gets enamored by gadgets.

I would like to start by saying that I am only a casual photographer/videopgrapher. I am not the guy who has his 'corder screwed to his eyeball 23 hours a day, and I don't record every utterance of my baby nephew or photgraph every sunset. If I did, I would most definitely invest in a higher-end device. But for the casual user, this is an ideal piece of equipment. So let's go over the features, which are surprisingly many:

As a video recorder, it is pretty solid, although the images can be a bit pixellated at times and the flow of playback does stutter periodically. The sound quality is pretty good. It has an easy to use focus ring which allows for close ups, medium distance and long distance filming, and of course there is a decent (x8)zoom lens. Out of the box you can only record 30 seconds or so on the device, so obviously it's necessary to buy an SD card. I bought a 2 MB card for a paltry $20, and that provided me with 3 hours of video memory, which is enough for the casual user. Transfer to computer is accomplished by the usual USB cable and instal software, and while it isn't overly fast, it isn't the slowest I've ever seen, either. The biggest drawback is that it needs a lot of light to shoot decent video.

As a camera it functions better, with sharper, higher-resolution pictures and a built-in flash which is easy to use. With the 2 MB SD card the capacity is 1,395 pictures, which is about 1,200 more than I will take on any vacation. Transfer of pictures is much faster than video. Several software programs allow some limited photoshopping and so on, although for serious editing you must pay for an upgrade. Drawback of the camera is limited to an inability to shoot on the move -- unless you like blurry, warped images, that is. (This doesn't apply to the video, which functions pretty well in transit).

In addition to these two features, the camera also functions as a digital voice recorder, which is pretty cool if you want to record ideas or directions or what have you and you don't have a pen or are driving; it functions as a webcam, if you want one; and it also works as a MPEG-4 music player, although I must admit the directions give no clue on how to access this benny.

Obviously, this is a low-end device, otherwise it would not be so cheap.
But "cheap" doesn't mean crappy. This is a diverse, rugged, durable piece of equipment that will make any casual user happy. Strongly recommended.
