   I bought this camera about five months ago, and I have loved it ever since. I am a fourteen year old movie making fanatic, and I have taken videos, with this camera, of everything around me. It is very simple and easy to use, however; it has many features to improve the movie making experience. I almost bought a “flip” camera before, but now I’m so glad I didn’t. I was pretty disappointed with the editing software (not that I was expecting some amazing software) because really it doesn’t do anything. I have yet to figure out how to burn a DVD(I don’t think my laptop has a DVD burner) but I am still delighted with my purchase.

   Good Product.

   Simple and easy to use. Captures and records images with great resolution for a camcorder that is not high definition.

   The battery could last a little longer, but the product is very good.

   This video camera is exactly what I was looking for. I am not someone who is good with gadgets and technology. I wanted a camcorder that would be easy to use, and easy to play back my videos. I didn’t even need to read the directions to figure this one out. You put the mini-DVD in, press record, and you’re good to go. Then when you want to play it, you just eject the mini-DVD and play it right in your DVD player. My #1 consideration in purchasing a camera was that I could easily record my family and then just as easily share the videos with others. I wouldn’t know anything about editing software or special features, but for us, this camera is perfect. The picture quality is also very good, and the camera is small and easy to carry around.
