Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great value for price

 

Does anyone buy a camcorder for the fire wire port??? The mini dvd format is amazingly convenient and you can simply take the dvd out and pop it in your dvd player once you finish recording. Oh it also has a built in USB port sooooooo what do you need...

Compact design and features of most other cameras in the $250 range. Has a nice feel to it and will not flop over in your hand like other camcorders tend to

Built in light only works in 4:3 mode. 16:9 mode only compatible with mini dvd media. Battery will discharge even when powered off requiring you to take the battery out and potentially lose it

It works great. It was a replacement for one that quit working while we were on vacation. I got it in China but the instructions only came in Chinese.
