I purchased this to make quick video of my newest daughter. It has worked out very well so far. I do love the ability to snap stills at 9MP while shooting video. Video quality is good (640x480) for what you are paying for. from Homedepot.com Pros: size (small!!!)video-qualitytakes normal flash-cardscheap accu Cons: Can't choose picture-compressionZoom lens of medium quality Review: After 2 month of use I'm still convinced that this camera was a good buy. It's very tiny but still delivers excellent quality, even has a working macro and slow-motion mode. from Shopping.com Bought this camera expecting all listed features to work. This camera takes fair vidios,if you don't move to much, fair still pictures but won't print date on photo copies or on images transfered to computer. Contacted Sanyo and after 4 or 5 emails back and fourth their last reply was that it will not print date unless you have PicBridge on your printer or on images transfered to computer. I also took my sd card to Wal-Mart to make copies and it will not print dates with their photo printer. from Amazon.com The camera is exactly what I was expecting for - beautiful, little camcorder, small enough to carry around most of the time (which was the reason I bought it) with video quality ok for most of the situations. This camera is indeed does not have the greatest IQ around, but wait, we don't expect the image quality of semi-pro 3CCD camera from a toy that fits in you pocket. from Amazon.com I bought this camcorder as a backup to my Panasonic Mini DV. This is my first experience with flash card memory so I was not prepared for the differences between it and mini DV tape. I think this is a great camera. from Amazon.com There are some things I find very good about this camcorder; and some that are just unforgivable. First off, I couldn't find anywhere that said if this camcorder shot 16x9 or not; but I assumed that the suggested retail price and manufacturing date implied it did. It was idiotic for Sanyo to make this camera just 4:3 (Or maybe I was foolish for having such faith in Sanyo) But we're talking about a ten dollar circuit! At the end of the first decade I'm shocked that a standard definition camera with a retail price, from Sanyo, would Not support 16x9. from Amazon.com doesn't work well in the dark. (few digi cams do though. and you can solve that with an infrared light) 2. from Amazon.com Bought this camera for general family activities, school shows, etc. about 3 months ago and it works great. from Amazon.com Without going into extreme detail I found the Sanyo to be adequate for video although not at all impressive. The Sanyo does not have a problem with audio picking up other noises as do most Aiptek units - actually the audio was quite good. from Amazon.com you need to buy a software to edit your movie (about $60). I'm not a PRO but lack of quality electronics disgust me. Overall this cam is over priced, with SANYO brand I was expecting better performance. It's just OK to capture some moments but just that. from Amazon.com
