"The Archos 404 camcorder is great, but not for a camera"
Pros: large screen, attractive price, cool features
Cons: bad battery life, low megapixel camera
Summary: There are many reasons you may like this PVP (portable video player), but you should really know what you're buying. If you think this player is a few great things in one small compact package, you are wrong. The good thing about this player is a large screen that is compfrontable to look at for hours. This is the perfect tool for a long airplane ride or car drive because you can watch a dozen of your favorite DVD movies. Some cons is that this will not replace your camera. This is a great MP3 player, but you should not buy this instead of a camera. The camera takes pixelated images that aren't good when put out to a medium size, but that is to be expected. This is a camera for just a picture for a blog etc. Another thing that I don't like is the battery life thats rated for only 2.5 hours of video. Another thing is that if you want to record from a tv it requiures a $100 acessorie.
If you have come over the mediocure camera and batery life and the fact that you have to pay an extra $100's so you can record tv it is a great device. And if you really don't need a camera get the Archos 604 for the same price that has longer battery life, a removable battery, kickstand, and larger screen, but no camera.
