Well , promises promises . This is a nicely specked out camera I will say , easy to use functions , lots of accessories , the driver disc unfortunately , is a blank plastic disk . Yeah ! , looks like a CD , printed out like a CD , even sais driver and disc on the piece of round plastic [ that's all it is , a round bit of plastic with writing on it ] Anyhow , sometimes the computer can access the Mini DV and other times not , bit of hit and miss in that regard .. Also the battery was not much chop , by that I mean it wont hold a charge , your lucky to get maybe 2 minutes of video before it runs out of steam , it does work though , just not as well as expected unfortunately . Now I did mount mine to a 450 electric helicopter (RC) as I am interested in trying aerial photography or video-ography as the case may be . And the camera hates it , way to much vibration for it to deal with , even when the camera was wrapped in foam . At this time [ due to the battery issue ] I will have to put this aside for another day , perhaps it will make for a nice mod host [ new battery and possibly some re engineering and the possible loss of its body ] Will see how things go . Now while the camera is still , [ not moving ] it takes decent video , with decent color rendition , so for other uses , this could be a decent little performer , unfortunately for me , with a dud battery , I didn't get to do much of anything except verify its not much good for heli video .. Hmmm so in a nutshell .. Decent color rendition Works [ Camera ] Battery = BAD very Bad ! Drivers = What drivers ? Instruction manual = The Chinese really , badly , urgently , need ENGLISH speaking people to proof read manuals . In this case the negatives out weigh the positives , and I give this one the thumbs down [ this Camera from my retailer = fashion_wholesale on Ebay . ] |
