Rated 3 out of 5

The problem is:

The size and the ability to record is excellent BUT the instructions on-line and in the booklet there is no clear information on how to off load the video to another media source. Really, Really, really disappointed in no information on off loading the videos.

Small

The camera is pretty much push to record very simple. But there is no night vision ! I tried to record my little one blowing the candles and us singing happy birthday with the lights off and candles lite but it’s black. Doesn’t really pick up light easily compared to other camcorders. night vision is a must for me.
