I bought this little camara for our up coming trip to Italy in February. It is easy to use and takes wonderful videos not as clear as a real expensive camara but it does the job.. The best part is that I can put them on my computer. Everything I need was in the box even the batteries... I would recommend it to any one.

I bought this for my daughter for Valentine's Day - she's 17 and loves taking home movies; my other one I purchased for myself was stolen from my mailbox so I've not been able to record anything for my daughter's graduation movie from me to her, nor use it for my business. I can't her camcorder out of her hands - she's already recorded our next door neighbor's 4 year old daughter at her first cheerleader performance (just as I did with my daughter when she was 4 - she ended up a dance competitor for 6 years). To make a long story short, my daughter just loves it and I'm really glad that I was able to provide her with this - at least one of us can make home made movies of our dog, our home, our small town and other things that come up. This is a spectacular purchase and I know that other teens (and adults) will see the easy use of it.
