I am not very happy with this product. Very early on the volume went, then the color started chipping and now I get no picture. We only use it for travel. Therefore I feel it's not a very durable product

QuickTake:

Pros: It's convenient for traveling

Cons: Not very durable, color chipping, black screen, low volume

Recommended: No

Has Owned Product: 7 months
