"A very nice pocket camera with a big size LCD screen."
Pros: 720p video recording with stereo sound
Cons: The audio circuits need better agc for recording
Summary: With 720p HD video recording, 12 mpxl photos, and stereo sound - all for $300, what more could we ask for?
Don't expect SLR results from this little pocket camera but for the convenience it gives me - I love it. I've got photos that otherwise wouldn't never have happened. I just pull it out of my pocket, hit the button and in a few seconds I can capture a photo, or a nice video in DV or HD resolution with stereo sound.
The sound will distort in high volume invironments but does great on average sound levels. I've used it to capture very nice sound effects on the go.
The photos are crisp and clean and I love the 16:9 HD photo mode. It gives me very good photos for family use. Best of all I can now capture family videos in HD 720p. The 16:9 format is the best part of HD viewing. But if you expect sparkling professional HD video, you better get the $5000 rigs..
A 2 gig SD card will give me 16 minutes of 720p HQ video, or 30 minutes of 720p normal video. In the 16:9 HD photo mode (9pxl) I can take 700 photos.
The menu system is easy to figure out. The operating insturctions with the camera are not complete. Go to the Kodak web site for a more complete operating guide.
