Customer Review: Really disappointed with Amazon
Ordered this on 27/12, as item was in stock.
Just been on to check my account and told that the expected delivery date is between 24/01 and 14/02!! I’m not waiting a month for this camera.
Have cancelled my order, and brought it cheaper from Pixmania (?189), which will be with me in 2-4 days.
Amazon.co.uk use to be a great site - now it’s full of misrepresentations and 3rd party sellers with over inflated postage costs. I ordered 10 blank DVDRW’s - ?9.48 with postage being ?9.80! It’s a joke.
Customer Review: Best camcoder ever
I had a tape camcoder; I think it was panasonic until it broke a few months ago and since then a camcoder has been on my wish list. I bought the previous camera two years and it cost me the same price as this one now.
This camcoder is probably the most you get for your money out of all the cameras out there.
The video quality is excellent and you can film in widescrean and surround sound. There are many modes that you can use like sports mode, potrait mode, macro mode (which is excellent) and, my favourite, night mode. This is like the effect they use on the Blair Witch Project and Most Haunted. It is an effect where you can film in pitch black with an infared light and it will pick up the areas you are pointing at without you being able to see it with your own eyes. It’s great.
It is simple to use apart from I had a bit of trouble with figuring out how to get my CDs converted to be able to use on the computer and on my editing software (Magix). But once I got it it is quite simple although it is quite a bit of hassle just to be able to get one small piece of film on there.
Overall a great product

Customer Review: Excellent Camera for a Fantastic Price
I bought this camera recently with the arrival of our first child to be able to record general bits and pieces as all new dad’s do! For the cost I wasn’t expecting a great deal but I’ve been really surprised at how easy and well this camcorder performs. For someone who just wants to take general video of ’stuff’ you really can’t do much better than this for the price, a friend of mine was a bit dismissive of it however he’s a professional and spends more on his kit than most people do their houses but for the price he had to conceed it certainly does the job!
