SVP T500Bk 1440x1080p HD Camcorder

"You get what you pay for"I decided to get a 1080p compact SD camcorder after playing with a couple Sony and Canon models. I found this SVP here, and for a GREAT price (paid under $200, shipped with 8GB class 6 SD memory). Upon receiving the camcorder, immediately it felt "cheap" compared to the big names.The function of this camcorder is very simple and easy to use. Simply charge the included Li-ion battery with it's charger, install it to the camcorder, insert your Class 6 or higher SD memory, turn it on and you're ready to point and shoot.The camera mode is adequate; much better than cheap cell phone cams. The camcorder modes work well, and the sharpness is fairly good though you'd have to speak up because the mic doesn't like quiet. Under low light, there are a lot of noise (grainy picture).I plan on using this as my in-car recorder whenever I drive. Maybe even velcro/strap it to my helmet whenever I ride or go carting. It is fairly compact. Should be good, since 8GB gives about 2hrs of record time at 1080p resolution (you can dial it down to 720p and 480p).Bottom Line: If you're looking for an AFFORDABLE (sub-$200) and SIMPLE (limited features and buttons) point-and-shoot 1080p camcorder, this is your camcorder.
