Anonymous verified purchaser , “Bargain hunter”

Score 9.0/10

+ Stylish and straight-forward to set up for quick recording and playing. Default picture quality and sound is good (I've yet to try playing around with the options)

- No detailed user guide included in the package which could be a problem for people without web access to download.
