Compact - pocket sized camcorder. - 23 Sep 2007

I purchased this model for use on my field trips and interviews in the Amazon Rainforest and the Philippines. It fits in your pocket, and with the removeable SD cards you can have as much storage as you want. It does what it says on the box. It also takes reasonable quality still shots. All in all it's compact size makes it a winner in my book (which is the reason I bought it). The only gripe is that the battery only lasts an hour (about 1GB of 'footage') before needing a re-charge, however I bought some spare batteries which are not expensive (on amazon.co.uk). Also it plugs into the PC via a USB or just use the SD card and you can watch your videos and stills rightaway.

The first thing that hits you about this camera is the size. It is tiny, almost too small! After you have got used to its size it is surprisingly easy to use, initally there is a tendancy to hook your fungures around the top near the lens but you get used to the shape quickly. The controls are very easy to use one handed, my son has already created videos while commando crawling around. The quality is easily sufficient for my purposes and well up the the DV camera and better than the Hi8 camera I have had before. Not sure about the longevity of the battery jet because there has been a lot of playback but I managed to get a second for £6 anyway.
The only minus points I can find in the short time I have owned it are....
1) The bundled software is poor, even just a patch so you can view in Windows Media Player would have been good, you have to install Quicktime to just view the movies
2) When you take advantage of the facility to take a still while videoing you get a pause in the video action but not the sound, then the picture jumps back to video.
3) The lens cap is really fiddily to get off. A filter thread would remove the need for a cap.
All in all well worth the money, scary to think I paid £800 for a Hi8 camera 16 years ago!
