Summary: Help Me
Review: I'm looking to buy this camera but I would like to see pictures taken by it at its highest resolution, I would really apreciate if anyone could contact me and send me some pictures at: mary_zap@hotmail.com

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWSOME!!!
Review: If people would spend the time and read the directions they would not have any problems!!! Sure, I will have to purchase a larger memory card, but, this camera is amazing!!!! To respond to the comment that the camera strap is the size of dental floss, he is speaking about the lens cap strap. The camera strap is very thick and sturdy. The pictures are very sharp and clear and the compact look is sleek!!

Summary: MUSTEK FROM MY EYES
Review: Positives:
A++ for Size
A++ for Design
A++ for Cool Factor
A+ for MP3 ability
A for sound recording
A for the LCD Screen
A for all the extras it came with (if you buy most cameras you'll have to buy extras such as ear phones, straps, connectors, tripods, cases seperately, these thing can drive the cost up, especially if you buy domestically where you have to pay sales taxes, crappy GST PST!)
B+ for picture taking, hey, this thing is capable in capable hands!
B for night shot feature, its not bad, acts like a flash almost
B for video shooting, 30 FPS not bad, 10 FPS at higher resolution could be better, but look at everything else you're getting
B for mass storage
C+ for getting a 32 MB card instead of the crappy 16 or 8 most cameras give you (still not enough, why oh why do these cheap camera companies always like to rip us off this way?)

The Bad
D for no flash
D for the volume isn't very loud when listening to earphones, I like my music LOUD!!!!!!

untested so far: battery life , so far i was able to use it 30 minutes out of the package, now im rechargin it cause it died already, how much for a second one? (PS it says not to use other company, are yo ure noki will work ?)

I just got this cam and may still return it for a ful refund, but ive looked at the competition and none of it seems to want to match this cam's capabilities and price, so , imight just keep this one! Im a musician, and i just love the speaker, the mike it comes with. I can play my songs and easily upload them online, fun to record concerts live, so smal no one will ever catch you, great for spy cam! No one will ever see it! LOL, this is the ultimate Toy cam , yes TOY cam, but the ultimate and good price! I enjoy it so far.

Summary: Fun Stuff!
Review: I bought for my 10 year old daughter but ended up keeping for myself...before you call me a chump, I had a reason. The camera is a bit TOO small and complicated for a 10 year old, especially adding into this the concept that you really do have to slow your movement and steady as she goes while filming unless you want blurred images. So I opted to keep this little puppy and find her a good used camcorder on ebay instead. Back to this camera, I found that it really did have lots of good features, especially the MP3 sound quality and the audio quality on the video filmed. The camera captures quality still photos and "pretty good" video, especially in well lit outdoors. Small enough to go into the pocket, I captured some priceless video AND audio, of my 2 year old's encounter with some ducks at the park, which easily downloaded and easily emailed to the relatives! Not bad for $160.00. Don't expect higher priced quality from this camera, but it actually surpassed my original expectations!

Summary: Excelant multi functional Digital device...
Review: I'll start off by saying I made one BIG MISTAKE before I purchased this device. I actually thought I could use it as a "primary" camcorder, but then a light bulb went on and I had to remind myself I only paid $160 for it...

This device is not for anyone who want's to record once in a lifetime activites (ie; weddings,vacations, other major events, etc.etc.etc.), but it has pretty good still image quality, it has "GREAT" digital recording capibilities and being able to play MP3's is another bonus...

So let's go through this again, for $160 bucks you get a digital camera B+, a video camera C+, an MP3 playerAA+, a digital audio recorderAA+, and a data storage deviceAA+...

This sound like a great device for someone on the go and to top it off you'll even be able to capture some "once in a liftime" (you know those spur of the moment things)...

This device is so small there is no reason not to have it with you at all times!!!

Folks, don't buy this device thinking you're getting over on the digital video camera world by only paying $160 bucks when we all know a good quality camera goes for $400 and up...

I leave off by sharing some of my video experiences...

1. If you use this inside, make sure you have plenty of light...

2. Try and use the tripod as often as possible, but for times when you can't, keep the camera as steady as possible and if you have to move it (if your not videoing a fixed area) go as slow as possible. This will prevent that "digital drag" that everyone is complaining about...

3. I actually shot some great footage outside in my backyard. I placed the camera on the tri-pod and ajusted it to focus on my entire area. It captured crystal clear video outside in normal daylight conditions...

4. Don't think your going to video any "action scenes" with this device as the video will be blurred and smudged...

5. I rate this a screaming buy for those who want a "multi function device" (actually use the other 4 functions) with the added ability to capture some "real time" video every now and then...

Summary: Be sure you want it because Amazon will keep your money
Review: I decided to try this camera for my daughter. She loves to make movies. She was very impressed with the size and the many functions. However, we decided to return the camera because the video quality was very poor. The overall camera quality also made us nervous. While it did not break, it certainly looks like it could at any moment. (maybe should be expected for this price)

Anyway, make sure you want this before you buy it. We returned it just as we received it and Amazon dinged us for $30+. If I am not convinced of a purchase, I will certainly buy my electronics elsewhere. I recommend you look for it in a store first.

Summary: Great gift for a teenager
Review: I bought this camera as a gift for my 13 year old daughter and she has had it now for about 6 weeks. When you take it out of the box it has the look and feel of a toy--a few years from now you may find it in the toy department for under $20. It is the size and weight of a pack of cigarettes (no joke). The quality of the video is of course nothing compared to more expensive digital cameras, but it's certainly good enough for a teen. If you don't buy the optional memory card it will store only about 8-10 minutes of video. It also stores and plays music. My daughter has had a lot of fun with this little camera and we haven't had any problems so far--hopefully it will stay that way.

Summary: Sorry, liuc2 you're wrong. This stuff is great!
Review: Review by liuc2 and my ideas:

Resolution is 2Mpix (2 CMOS) not 4Mpix.
ANS: It said clearly in the AD and manual.

but it works like 1 Mpix only.
Pictures are usually blurry (even if you use a tripod)
and color is not right (too yellow or too red)
ANS: As everybody can see from the pictures offered by 'iwylu',
the images were sharp and the colors were also very good.

Don't buy it even if it is $ 100 only
ANS: Well, I think no one would 'buy' your review even if
it is 100 words only.

Summary: Excellent Item, Does alot more than any others.
Review: I purchased this Item. But before I did, I spent a whole month researching other items. After comparing serveral items I decided to go for this Item. Eventhough I found many negative reviews for this Item, I decided to purchase it.

The most common thing I noticed by many reviewers was the following: They do not understand the difference between a cmos sensor and the lens of a regular camera. I am not going into details on this but the mistake I saw was reviewers are trying to compare this camera to a real camcorder.This camera is a MPEG4 recorder, not a video recorder

Many bought this camera expecting it to do the same as a 500 dollar camera. Many complain about the quality. Quality is expensive. Many say that quality is the most important thing, then why not just buy a 5 megapixel camera and an 8mm camcorder?

I paid 170 bucks for this camera and I am totally amazed. I took a picture and it looked great. . This camera is so small it put a smile on my face. I am a systems engineer and I use this camera for many things. I use it to take pictures of systems and put them on file. I use it to take videos of meetings to document the meeting. I use it to record the meeting using the voice recorder function. I use it to carry my drivers arround. And I use it to lsten mp3. The mp3 function is my favorite. It is so amazing, and what I like the most, is that it has a speaker, which is not very loud, but it gets the job done. I also love the LCD screen which has LIght!!!! I could not believe this. I have seen other models which have color but not light. This is great for viewing your videos.

I am just amazed by this thing and I am so happy I got it. If you like this Item or if you are looking for something like this, this is the right Item. I recommend this item over any other item in its category.

I am very happy and I am using this item every day now.

Thanks
