I bought this camera liking it's compact size. After a week it won't keep a charge anymore. There is no support for this camera. In my book it is a piece of junk and certainly not worth buying. Save your money for better..........

Comments about Jazz Jazz HDV178 High Definition 11mp Digital Video Camera 8x Zoom, 2.4" TFT LCD, with HDMI Cable:

I didn't expect much for a [$]camcorder but I was pleasantly surprised by the Jazz Elite. I wanted something small that wasn't a burden to carry around. This camcorder fits right in my pocket and the video quality is GREAT! I didn't find another camcorder on the market for this price, this small, and had 1280x720 video quality. Also the sound is in sync with the video...I've heard alot of other low priced camcorders have the audio lagging the video. The only con is the lens does not have a lens cap and could easily get scratched if you carry it around in your pocket. Also the night mode feature causes a blurry video because the shutter is staying open longer...despite this I've shot videos in very low light settings (dance clubs) and got decent results.
