"I'm not easily impressed...but now I am!"
Pros: Very compact, easy to use, handy for quick video shoots.
Cons: You have limitations...but for parties, spontanious stuff great!
Summary: I bought it for $109.00 at CC, was just going to try it, was not prepared to keep it unless it was of value. It is a keeper! I have a high end Panasonic 3 ccd video cam, for planned video shooting and important stuff like weddings, parties, family gatherings. But this little RCA SmallWonder is so easy to use and convienant that it seems I'm always popping it into a pocket and taking it with! And just pop up the plug and put it in your laptop or pc port and it loads it's program into the pc and in a few seconds, you have e-mailable pics or video! And with the included cord, you can play it on your TV or into your DVD recorder too. Idiot proof! great device, 4 and 1/2 stars!Updated
I bought my first video camera around 1980, it was huge, had a vcr seperate that you slung over your shoulder, and poor color quality. My current one is a nice compact Panasonic, fantastic color and way too many buttons!
Now the RCA Small Wonder EZ201 shows up, and changes the game completely. Nice quality video, a couple of simple buttons and you are filming. 2 hours is plenty of time, but if you need longer filming, use a memory chip and lithium AA batteries and you could go 4 hours! And the little swivel color color lcd monitor is cool, if you are narrating, you can see yourself! Simple, fun, small, easy to use, and a good quality camera. I carry it with me everywhere I go, and have caught some great video. Plus it easily downloads with it's own built in software into your PC, Laptop or work/home computer. And you can edit the video, and capture still pictures as well. Share instantly thur e-mail, or you tube. We have a white one which was $109.00 on line from Circuit City. If you have young children, or if you are grandparents...get one! Memories are easy to save and send!Updated
