I just bought this camera and have a MAJOR problem with the way it works. Everytime that you start and stop the video camera, a new clip is created. So that when you are done filming with one card and download it to the computer, you end up with 20 to 50 individual small files instead of one big one. Then you are stuck renaming everyone of these clips so that they are not overwritten the next time you save the clips to the computer. And when you want to watch them, you have to indivually start 20 to 50 different clips rather than pressing start once and watching the whole video. I called the company to ask if this could possibly be right, and they said this was the way it was designed. The only other option was to use the camera to individually attach two clips together, which creates a new clip. Then you have to delete the original clips and repeat this process 20 to 50 times before you download to the computer. I was floored that they believed this was acceptable. I am definitely returning the camera.

In my opinion this is not a marketable product. The cameras features are irrelevant if it does not work. There is clearly a design fault and the product should be withdrawn from sale until there is a fix. When it did work it was a convenient pocketable unit. As for HD – possibly at high noon in the Sahara, but in anything but perfect light the results are dissappointing.

I’ve have had this device since about 5/2006 and have been relatively pleased with the results. Video in low light conditions is not great, but outdoors video and indoor/outdoor photos are fine. Though I do have a HD television, I tend not to view my videos on it. I transfer the video files to my MacBook Pro and view them with QuickTime Player. I think the video quality is great and just the fact I have instant access to the videos is a huge plus! The small size is also great…I just came back from a ski trip and was actually skiing and filming at the same time! You wouldn’t do that with that big Sony HD camera! Sanyo has also told me the SDHC (high capacity) cards will also work in this camera, so I intend to buy a 4G card very soon. Amazon also sells some lens attachments that Sanyo has come out with that I may look in to.

have had this cam since last April 2006 I did put some microphone foam over the microphones which eliminated any wind noise and didnt change the exsiiting quailty stereo recording. Wind Noise filter wasnt enough to cut out all wind noise. Camera is amazing considering its size best part is that it can be slipped in my front pants pocket and goes unnoticed and is there when you need it!
Low light video recording is grainy when yuo set asa to 400 but so was 35mm SLRs when using 400 speed film a few years back get same feeling with this cam. Low light auto focusing is touch and go just have to give cam time to focus or manully set the focus. Awesome closeup pics in both still and video mode can get down to 1/2″ away from subject so close lens can produce a shadow in the image. I always shoot in 5meg size and can get 700 some pics with a 2GB card and I have 4 of those for weekend events.
for this price and small size I am 100% sold on this cam but I use to shoot 35mm slr with 2-3 lens etc and camera bag over the shoulder Now just this tiny cam in my pocket I get both still and HD Video really amazing.
You can get better HD and still pics but not in anything that fits in a front pants pocket!

I really like this camera, being a first time camcorder buyer it works great! I do have issues with the low light capabilites and also the HD quality, but other than that if you can pick one up used or for $450 it is well worth it. It is a fun camera to cary in your pocket and point and shoot small clips. Love that you plug it in via usb and drag of the .mov files.
