"Blahhhhh !" on by pantech_slate
Pros: Not really anything. I like that you can flip the screen around so you can see what you're taking a picture of, but other then that not a lot. I used it for my horse show, and when I uploaded the pictures the quality was crappy. >:(
*TouchscreenCons: EVERYTHING. The battery lasts like, 2 hours maybe, but if you're using it heavily then maybe an hour & half.

"Perfect for my cat's litter box!" on by tabman
Pros: Pro? Great way to blow 500 bucks!
Cons: Poor, Poor video quality. Poor Craftsmanship.
Summary: I bought this while out of town for MY wedding when my Sony TVR-11 died. I didn't have time to do my homework and trusted the bib box retail salesman who said it was a great replacement for my TVR. I found out later that my TVR had TWICE the video quality and didnt break until after four years. This piece of garbage DVD-101 broke after 6 hours and right before my wedding! (We didn't buy the out rageously priced extended warranty.) The store swapped it out with another one and it has now broke. A different problem this time. The first was a jammed disc door and this one's toggle switch that controls EVERYTHING has stopped working. The camera was never abused and rarely used. STAY AWAY from the DVD-101!!! I saw one in the store yesterday and went ahead and let the salesman make his pitch. He was clueless as he went on about how great it was. BTW: Anybody wanna buy a DVD-DOOR STOP?

"Great camera for me" on by irnbru40
Pros: lightweight,Compact, Flip over viewfinder, Easy to use.
Cons: Slightly slow to load/unload discs.
Summary: I have used this camera on numerous occasions and quite honestly can't understand why some people say poor quality.
The video footage I have shot(DAYLIGHT)has been very good quality and I have perfect eyesight.
This camera avoids the hassles of having to transfer film to dvd.
A great buy which suits my needs.Updated
Not enough people seem to be aware of the camera settings. I would urge people to READ THE MANUAL.
