I have to agree with the other reviewer. I have three of this same exact camera, although under a different brand name (apparently this same model was used by several companies). Reviews on other sites are quick to slam it as "cheap" or "poor quality", but that isn't really fair or altogether true. It is a low-cost camera, so you shouldn't expect too much. But for the price (I paid $25 for mine), it is a surprisingly good little camera. The video quality is clear, not totally sharp but good enough for what it is, and it has good sound as well. It even takes decent still photos. However, there are a few downsides that you should know about before buying. They are: - There is a constant "hum" or background noise in the recorded sound that is internal. It usually isn't all that noticeable unless there is a lot of silence or low audio in the recording. This seems to be a regular complaint regarding camcorders of this type, not just this particular model. It's not bad, but it is there. - It can be hard, or impossible, to find a replacement battery. The battery seems to be unique to this device (I took an old, dead one to a battery store for a replacement, and out of the hundreds they carried they didn't have that specific type, nor could they find it online to order it) and the camera is discontinued. - It may or may not be compatible with your computer. It worked fine (for quite a while) with my older laptop, but eventually my computer stopped recognizing it. And my new one wouldn't recognize it at all. But it really didn't matter, because all I had to do was insert the memory card directly into my computer and upload from there. Overall, there are far more 'Positives' than 'Negatives' for this camera. It is a good deal for the price that they typically sell for- between $20-$35.Read full review

It works as well as the model ever did. LIghtweight. Small. 2 hours battery. Pretty good picture quality. Easy to use. Easy to transfer pictures or video to elsewhere. The microphone isn't great but what can you expect? It's OK. Excellent for the price.

For this price, the product is unbeatable. It is not the best in the world, and it is not "professional" quality, but my 18 year old son is totally pleased with it. Without getting overly picky or boring, a product like this either works well or poorly, and is either worth the price or not. This video cam works well and is worth the price. End of story.
