I used this to videotape my nieces and nephews at the beach and was surprised how well it turned out. I am not a camera or video person at all, but I like having something on hand to capture a nice moment. All I did was push the button, and it recorded fine. I'm did not expect the voice quality to be great but it was ok. The picture out in the sun was clear, and I kept a fairly steady hand on it. So for what I need, this was a great choice. As I get better at this, I'll definitely get something with more bells and whistles. I know this doesn't have editing capabilities, or the ability to video in low light well. Till then, I'm glad I got this.

I was surprised at how far this technology has come. This camera is perfect. It's compact, easy to use, and the quality of video is excellent. I am an avid video recorder, and didn't think 30 minutes of recording would be long enough! You will be surprised at how long 30 minutes lasts in short 2-3 minute recordings.

I purchased this item for my son on his 11th birthday. He and his friends are always running around making "commercials" or skits. This is very easy to use and portable. We take it with us on vacations, it's light and there is no need for cables, tapes, or discs! The only "negative" is the record time. Thirty minutes is not always long enough, and if you don't have your computer around, you're stuck either deleting clips or not recording anything new. Also, you need to replace the batteries. It would be nice if it were rechargable.
