This is the perfect camcorder for someone who isn't as technologically savvy as a lot of people or they just want something that is very simple to use and very small to store. And that's definitely qualifies on all those aspects. A really nice camera. I am fond the technologically set. You put sometimes you just want to point and shoot and that's exactly what this camera is designed for. As you can see it only has a very few buttons on the back. You had a power button down here. You have a play button. A delete button the little red button in the center stops and starts the recording process. You also have the little directional buttons you have up and down for volume during playback and left and right and allows you to choose which video you want to play. And the video quality on this is excellent. It records in 640 by 480. It also comes to the cords so you can hook this directly into your TV and play video offer this storage that's in here right on to your television which is very nice and this actually looks really good on the TV. Now what is just surprising considering that's just 640 by 480 format but it converts to the TV really really well. And if you wanna upload this to your computer that's also very simple. This got a little hidden USB jack right here in the side. You just pull th switch down and it pops right out. Put that into any USB jack and you're ready to go. It's got all the software on their pre-installed. You don't have to really know how to do anything. You plug this in and then it installed itself and it's ready to go. You can now look at your video. Choose which ones you wanna download and they are ready to play. You don't have to edit them or re-save them or anything like that. So it's an incredible easy to use product. It runs on a couple of double AA batteries. These are the digital camera batteries because they last a little bit longer. But if you use this a lot you might want to invest since it's a rechargeable batteries but I have used this quite a bit and the batteries are not gone that yet. So that's probably a pretty low drained vest as far as digital the batteries go. This is a great camera. You wanna take a little bit of video right now so I can show you how the playback works. I just turn turn it on using this button down here. It beeps that means it's on. And I am now recording. That's my camera set up you're looking at right now. You can't really see it but I'll show up to you in a minute. And I press the red button again to stop it and the video is now saved. If you want it play it back you just press the play button right here and [video clip]...There you go. It's that simple. If you're hooked into your TV that will playback right in your television screen. Now the video quality on this is really good. There is a zoom which I would block to assume but maybe there ll maybe one in a future version. The sound quality is pretty good as well. It has a very nice built in microphone. So all in all this is a great camera. It's very simple to use. It cost around a $130.00 retail. You can usually find it for $99.99 most stores. You can also take this to best buy and plug it into a machine and it will spit out a DVD that you can take home and play and you don't have to worry about plug in it into your computer. You may not even have to own a computer. So that's another great thing about this camera. So give it a try and I would like to thank expo for allowing me to get this one in the recent contest and I'm going to encourage everyone out there to go buy one for themselves.
