Rating : - This video/still picture camera is awesome!!!
I bought this camera as a replacement for one that recorded with tape. That's about all it did. Well I tried it didn't like it and brought it back for a refund.Right then and there I decided that I was going digital if I could find the right camera at the right price.I found this one on Amazon for $300 bucks.The price range went from $700 to $300.I bought this one and I'm tellin ya' I'm one happy camper.It is so easy to operate a kid can do it,yet it takes great videos and pictures on dvd format. It's touch screen so if you have never done that,it will take a bit of practice to get used to. There's 2 filming formats. One for the advanced user and another one called easy.I use them both because with either one it works just great.I also ordered a camera bag that came with assessories.DVD's and a handy wallet to keep them in.The photo or still picture as they call it is as close to rapid fire as you're going to see at this price. I gave it a 5 rating because it's great. It has a lot of cool features I haven't mentioned because there's to many to name here. Buy it you won't be sorry. Believe me!!
