(please note that the package does not include a memory card, and the camcorder requires a card for it to work, I do sell 128mb SD cards for $89)

Specifications:
Image sensor – 2.0 Mega CMOS Sensor
Resolution – Super 2048 x 1536; High 1600 x 1200; Middle 1280 x 1204; Low 800 x 600
Digital zoom 4x
Display Colour TFT 1.5” LCD
External memory - SD/MMC
Lens – Fixed (5 glasses lens)
File format – JPEG/AVI
Focusing range – 0.7m – infinity
Interface - USB/AV out
Self timer – 10 secs
Power – 2 x AA Alkaline batteries
Dimensions – 85*40*68mm
Weight – 110g
System requirements: PC Pentium 166 Mhz or higher; Microsoft windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP

It has 3-in-1 functions – Digital video, digital still camera and PC (or web) camera. This video can take video clips up to 3.1 megapixels (software resolution), and has the facility for SD/MMC memory cards, so that the memory of your digital video is only as limited as your memory card.

What do you reckon about it?

255356 2004-07-25 10:49:00 I looked at these sometime ago. By memory they can only record to a memory card what is fine for photos but very limiting for video. Don't think you will get many minutes of good video. Berryb (654)
255357 2004-07-25 11:03:00 You need to record onto tape Baldy (26)
255358 2004-07-25 11:07:00 Just noticed the card is only 128mb

For video that would be absolutely USELESS
