- Hot Pink
I give it 4 stars because it does what it's supposed to do. I load videos, songs, listen to the radio, listen to recording I loaded on there flawlessly.
I gave it 4 stars because I don't think the camera is as good as advertised. The picture quality is somewhat grainy, but then, I've never taken videos under perfect circumstances.
The complaints I read had to do with the device freezing up. The directions say that it's not made for big files and will freeze up if you try to load them. I think some of the problem is with the somewhat less than perfect interface with Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc and the conversion software that comes with it. The software, if you read it while it's converting, says "unconverting files". Well, that's a program glitch. Every media file that you want to load has to go through the conversion program before it will load correctly only the player. Once I realized that, every video played just fine.
The FM radio is great too. Some of the complaints are that you have to reset the radio every time you play it. Well, not if you hit the right button, you don't. It scans automatically when you hit the scanner button. Otherwise, it automatically goes to the last station you played when you had it on before. It also saves in a list all the radio stations that it picked up. But you do have to let it scan all the way up the first time.
Also, when turning it on and off, you have to press the button and hold it down for about 10 seconds before you see a change. It's a little slow that way.
The problem, as I see it, is that it's not an iPod, it doesn't have the seamless interface that maybe people are expecting.
And you have to read the manual all the way through.Very good quality. Love the camera and taking pictures. Reasonable price. Plus there was a radio. Screen quality not the best but its great for the price.Not recommended.
1.Device froze up often. Tiny reset button would fix it, but freezing was a persistant and an annoying problem.
2.Windows Media Player would not recognize it. User manual did show that you needed to open player and music files through "explore" and transfer music that way which was managable. But then....
3.Computer stopped recognizing that the device was hooked up to it at all. Maybe just a coincidence, but my computer crashed a few days later. Using recovery disk and running diagnose computer, it said something about a malfunction from a device connected to the computer. Hmmm, could it have been this device?
