I bought this Camcorder a couple of months ago for my mother and she loved it. It is very tiny, but very powerfull. My mother is very satisfied. It also works as a digital camera!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this camera for everyday easy use I absolutely love that it can do a still picture while it videos! It takes great pics however the flash needs more oomph! Other than that I have very little to complain about! Mine lasted 4 years and then I upgraded just because I wanted to I’ve passed the camera on to my oldest child and he now loves it. The convenience of the way you hold it and pressing the buttons! It is completely user friendly I have recommended this to all my friends and family!

Pictures quality is mediocre.
Night video is terrible.
Stills for night shots, again unacceptable.
Never should supplement this for a regular camcorder.

If you are into small gadget high tech toy camcorder, buy yourself an Apteck MPVR. Takes pretty good shots, same size as this, and costs just $200.

Save the difference and invest in a decent camcorder like, perhaps, a Canon Optura 600 or similar. There are plenty of great camcorders in quality and size in the sub-compact camera category.

Also,in my opinion, the new Sanyo Xacti suffers from the same problem of poor quality night shots.

There is certainly a compromise in quality when you move to mpeg 4 compression.

Delivery of camera was very prompt. Camera was what I expected, I am very pleased with it’s portability, and usefulness. Sanyo support of the VPC-C6 camera is great with Sanyo Firmware Update Downloads. Thanks!

Taking phote is good outdoor, but poor indoor. Somewhat worse than average 5MB compact camera.

Video is ok both outdoor and indoor. Clearly worse than average Mini DV camcorder.
