RCA EZ210 Camcorder

it's a great quality product for the price and definitely in contention with the flip, in my opinion.

the only thing that i don't like about the product is when it semi-automatically compresses the file for emailing i think the resolution "sucks" and you loose a tremendous amount of quality.
from www.amazon.com
we have a big camcorder with a good zoom, but i am intimidated by it and it is too big to just keep shoved in my purse the way i can this one.

easy-to-use, intuitive menu navigation.
from www.amazon.com
it is very small and light, but does a great job with pretty much anything, but it does struggle in the dark like every other camcorder under 2-3 grand.
from www.amazon.com
the only reason i did not give this camcorder a 5 star is because one of the pixels on the lcd screen was broken when we took it out of the box, and amazon won't exchange it for only one broken pixel.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted to buy a different software program that i can use with my windows vista 64 bit that runs in my computer, but i need to make sure it is compatable with 64 bit and not just 32 bit.
from www.amazon.com
it holds a ton of clips, works really well in low-light situations, and focuses wonderfully.
