Customer Review: vivitar camcorder 310
I bought this camcorder for my 11 year old son and he is absolutely delighted with it. It is clearly very easy to use and does all that he wants it to do. Small, handy and very user friendly. Excellent value for money.

Customer Review: amazing value for money
i bought this looking for something to record rough videos of me and my friends mucking about at band practice. What i got was far beyond my expectations. This little baby is possibly the greatest purchase i have ever made. For 50 odd quid, you get more than you pay for!

Obviously for a serious enthusiast the 512MB limit is nowhere near enough, but for a superb entry level camera/camcorder, i couldn’t recommend it enough.

Customer Review: Pocket DV
Bought this at a pc fair for ?35.00, so gave it a work out on a holiday, as a bit of a toy. Never expected great quality but it held up well in bright sun and in a dim cave. Forget the mic for recording any live music as it distorts quickly,but sensitive for speech ect.Really does fit in pocket and you really start to use it everywhere which can be fun.If you put in new duracells and not using the light all the time had good results. Now the bad part the files are asc and recorded as separet files so they have to be converted by software provided which takes ages.I then edited ii together in 2 software packages, there own and XP Movie, and as yet have not been able to get it onto a dvd, or harddrive, perhaps i was doing something wrong ??. Also i recorded at so called D1 quality which is only 20 frames but better quality than VGA.Then the camera was stolen out of my coat pocket so that is that. Will i buy another one, perhaps yes if it records in a standard format. Also could not get playback direct onto TV although it was switched to PAL and 50 hz. very usful but dont throw you DV Camera away just yet.
Customer Review: great value fo money
i too have bought this item from QVC. It is great value for money and takes perfect videoing. I would recommend this for anyone who wants an easy to use video recorder thats compact to take out on a night out or for on holiday. i do agree with the previous customer the AA batteries supplied by qvc only lasted 10 mins. I have tried Duracel plus AA batteries and they lasted for about 25 mins. i’ve just purchased from Amazon an Energizer 1hr charger with 4 AA batteries at 2500mah for ?11.99 and let my video run to see how much recording i could do and i have had about 70 mins which are perfect. I like the fact that these use aa batteries because my camera as a lithium rechargeable battery and when i’m out and about and this runs out theres nothing you can do until you get home to charge them, whereas you can pop into nearest shop and pick up a set of aa batteries. i am so please with this item and would recommend it to anyone.

Customer Review: What’s the difference with the HDC-SD5 ?
I’ve been spending weeks and weeks poring over the best camera to buy, and still puzzled why this is so much more expensinve than the HDC-SD5, which also claims HD quality, albeit not with surround sound. Does anyone know ? Appreciate any feedback - thanks ! PS 5 stars ‘cos the reviews are so good
Customer Review: Brilliant camcorder - best i’ve ever owned
I have had this camera for just unter a month now and it just keeps on amazing me after owning mini dv cameras in the past the picture quality on this is absolutely brilliant and the camera is so quite so you dont get any annoying noises on the soundtrack Very fast focusing and Light adjustment includes the usefull zebra mode to warn you of over exposure. only word of warning is software provided is near to useless with basic editing and upload software. on the other hand if you own a mac get yourself a copy of the new ilife’08 package and you are sorted. I am also reliably informed that a recent update to final cut studio 2 allows for the editing of AVCHD footage. and for ?603 this camera is a bargain
