Nice small camera for the money
, Feb. 10, 2003
Comments:
This camera offers play-back with sound. Easy to use! Battery life is short - seems to die within 2 hours. Hard to find the cassette insert to play directly in the VCR. Overall does what it needs to do for the money spent!

It is a great entry level cam. However do not expect it to give you a clear picture on a sunny day with shadows, unless you zoom in. The optical, which sounds great, is not usable. You can not keep the image in focus or still. I like the easy of using
