theinmoe from TX Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Weeks	Pocket DV4500 Strengths: Inexpensive, portability and ease of use. Weaknesses: Video quality drops under low light conditions. Goes through batteries extremely fast. USB port at front, difficult to use as web cam. Tripot broke out of the box. Summary: 2005-11-08 18:22:12 Bought this for $32 at Target clearance. For the price I got a great little entry level DV camera. The video is little grainy. Recording video and taking pictures is a one touch operation. Zoom function is in 0.2 step and it is not smooth during video mode. Video can be converted to AVI format with included Ulead Video7 software. I would recommend to buy this if the price is around $60. I have CVS one time use video camera and picture quality is better than this one. But in photo mode picture quality is good. Micro mode isn't good. SD card is under battery cover and cover hinge is not really strong. Specs said 512MB SD card but I can use 1GB card without any error. 100% of People (17/17) found this review helpful.

Strengths: It is very simple to use, I did not have to read any of the instructions. A lot of options: black and white or colored pictures, mp3 player, voice recorder, camera, video, timer for pictures. Simple Weaknesses: It takes a while for the flash to re-charge, and video images indoors are not the best. Summary: Overall a pretty good and simple camera. In my price range. This is my first digital camera/camcorder. Very light and small could easily fit into any purse or loose fitting pocket. Comes with a small nice carrying case. Also comes with a mini tri-pod! Also has small head phones to listen to the mp3's I would reccomend this digital camera/camcorder, to any first time user. 96% of People (154/161) found this review helpful.

Strengths: Very easy to use, great user interface and picture review, reasonably fast shutter, minimal lag.. complete and ready to go out out-of-the box, great bday gift for 8 year old daughter Weaknesses: Battery door seems a bit fragile, usb cover door is fragile (extra door was included in package) Summary: Great camera for kids (much better than anything I've seen for around $100.. 2MP is fine for kids shooting pictures, actually is fine for up to 5 X 7. Good indoors for pictures or video with sufficient light. Great outdoors. Voice recorder is good as is the ease of use for all functions. Menu's were figured out by 8 year old without help or the manuals. I find the button orientation and controls very intuitive. About the size of the ipod mini. cassette tape size, two cassettes thick). Best father/daughter birthday gift.. nice to have one device that plays mp3's and is her camera, video camera and voice recorder. 88% of People (30/34) found this review helpful.

caccon Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	OK for its price Strengths: Cheap, alot of functions, flash, LCD screen Weaknesses: hard to focus, Eats up battery. Summary: I have to admit it is ok for its price but I would spend alittle more to get a better camera if you plan on taking some serious pictures. Maybe this would work for a present for your little child to play with as his/her first camera. 50% of People (1/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
