Steve, CAERPHILLY , “Civil servant (52)”

+ So easy to use. Any time anywhere! It fits in your pocket and gives you an hours worth of film capture.

- It needs a PC to charge the internal battery. It's not so easy to recharge when you're away!

Ken, London

+ Easy to use, small & light. Very good picture quality even indoors. Good sound quality. I have given the battery
life 10/10 but have not run 60mins. on 1 charge, but ideal for my usage.

- None, perhaps a better case with a belt clip would be useful.

Chris, Miton keynes, Bucks , “Can't do without it ”

+ Plenty of time to video objects. I thought 1 hour would not be long enough but it is.
My friends said they want one as well !

Mags, London , “40 ish”

+ Very easy to use and to carry around

- We're not sure if we're maybe doing it wrong, but each bit of videoing goes into a new folder and we don't seem to be able to just keep it ongoing

+ I bought this for my daughter who is 9. She loves doing her video diaries, so I also bought the tripod which was brilliant value too.
This is a brilliant gadget, the video quality is excellent for the price, we've had so much fun with it and taken lots of video clips that we wouldn't have if we'd of had a big camera!!

+ neat design, easy to use for all the family so fun!! Results are good though of course low resolution. For something to go in your pocket anytime, this is hard to beat.

- another way to charge it would be useful, but it's no deal breaker

Michael , Kidderminster , “Experienced amateur”

+ A simple no nonsense camera where you can shoot a scene and take great stills off it later. Easy software for down loading and simple layout. Together with You Tube, I wrote, shot and published a video up on my website within 20 mins.

Rachael, Rotherham , “love snow love skiing”

+ Brilliant to shove in your pockets as its as small as some mobile phones. Was brilliant to take skiing and easy to show everyone the video clips. Good image quality if the person filming stays pretty still. Small, light, easy to carry round. Nice little bag to keep it in.Good sound quality.

- image quality a bit shaky if camera is moving around much when filming.
