   paid to have this gift wrapped for xmas. included a card. so it would sit under xmas tree, so her husband & her could unwrap when he came home from the army for xmas. Instead the outside of the card was printed Open package first, then open card to see your prize. she opened the prent before opening the card,it was printed on it. What a dissapointment. Why would I bother to pay for giftwrapping, if she was going to open it right away. Can’t believe they put that on the outside of card. Completely ruined surprise!

   Very very very bad quality!!
   
   The videos seem to be filmed in the 60′s!!!
   
   I don’t even want to talk about the pics, worst than those pics taken with the laptop!!
   
   I’m going to give it back

   First you cannot zoom very much with this device in camera mode. Second it HAS NO FLASH!! Should be priced under $60 so the kids can have it.

   pros; small, cute, good price (at first glance)

   cons; horrendous pics; both still and motion. resolution is dismal. how anyone could say it ws near dvd quality astounds me-as one reviewer stated. the audio is virtually useless, and diminishes from near zero to sero as the distance from the mike increases-at 10 feet youo hear almost nothing-recording a band playing would leave you very frustrated and disappointed. it also sucked up my batteries like a kid with an ice cream cone-thankfully for those that can be recahrged. a person sitting on a floral sofa had the flowers in focus but not them, they were totally fuzzy and blurred under both web quality and high quality..moving the camera to get the person in focus still had them VERY fuzzy-hard to look at without the eyes getting sore/tired from seeing such a blurry pic.
   
   i only bought this when the price dropped to eighty…mistake, it is hardly worth it at even thirty, and then it’s just be something to keep in the glove compartment in case of an accident/emergency. i knew this camcorder would notgive great pics, but certainly the low quality surprises me, how low will you go in quality…

   i will send this back and spend a little more.

   addendum: took it to a club; horrible, you can barely make out the faces of the performers, either in WQ or HQ; grainy pics, and the video made the people moves like they were jerky, not normal movements of human beings. then i took it outdoors and filmed; again horrible detail. in WQ you could not make out rocks on the ground, a rosemary plants was very blurry as to be near not reconizeable…in HQ there was not much difference either. and the sound from the band at the club was distorted and sounded as if it came from a turntable at the wrong speed…and to hear the music i had to turn up the tv to full volumne and even then is was middling in hearing levels.

   this camera i would never use even at thirty, the pics, shown to anyone would be embarassing.

   Well I was super excited to get this after doing alot of research, but I just put the second one back in the mail for return. Both came with a crack on the housing of the camcorder near the monitor. Small, but looks like it could get bigger, and is cheaply made. Maybe a bad batch? Just interesting that both had an identical problem. glad I ordered through Amazon cause return was easy, so long as I GET MY REFUND!
