I recently purchased one of these mini video camcorders from DBROTH. I am amazed at how good the resolution is and how easy it is to use. I am planning a vacation where I will be doing some sightseeing, driving through the mountains. I plan to use the mini camcorder to record some of the roadtrip. I recently tested it and found that if I turn my passenger-side visor down and rotate the clip up, I can clip the mini camcorder to the bottom of the visor and it provides a very good "front seat view" of my drive. The microphone picked up my voice fairly well as long as I didn't have the radio turned up. I also noticed that the microphone picked up static noise which I figured out later was the A/C vent blowing air in that direction (the microphone must be more sensitive than I expected).I took about 30 minutes of drive-time video today and used the card reader to view the video when I was done. It was very easy. I like how small the camcorder and card reader are, I can slide them in my purse or pocket and take them with me just about anywhere.
For the money I paid and the quality of the product, I give this mini camcorder 4 out of 5 stars. The package arrived in the time promised and with the items described in the ad. I'm pleased with my purchase. I have had fun testing it and look forward to sharing my roadtrip videos after I return from vacation.

.Overall i love this product, while i just used it on small occasions, its proven to be very durable from drops. I'm not suggesting you to try dropping it, I just had accidents with it falling from my hands is all. I used this to record my paintball & airsoft games, its pretty handy and due to its size isn't very bulky.
The price is perfect for this productOMG the picture is outstanding, and the mic allows me to whisper in my helmet, and you can still hear me. I'm going to get another one for my husband. Great for hiking trips, helmet cams, perfect for just keeping in you pocket to whip out if you see something you want to capture. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!! Much better than using your cell phone to film anything!! If you not sure, just get it anyway. You will find a way to use this! I'M SO HAPPY THAT I DID!!Overall, this is a much nicer camera than we were expecting. The image and sound quality are better than expected, and the camera has a nice feel, with metal housing, not cheap plastic. We can get about 15 minutes of recording on the included 2GB card, and fully charged, the battery seems to last about 2 hours. I just ordered an 8GB card for longer recordings.
The instruction manual is very poorly translated into English, for example "If indicator sketch map state is crush out, motion is full of charge". The LED lights are hard to see, so it's hard to tell when the camera is actually recording. The USB connector is especially squirrelly, and like another reviewer mentioned, we have to plug it in and unplug it a few times in order to get it to work. And we can't figure out how to change the date stamp.
We're pretty happy with the camera itself; I wasn't expecting much out of a tiny fifty dollar camera, but the instruction manual and software could use improvement.
Update March 2011: There are apparently different versions of this camera floating around. I ordered a second one and it's a totally different than the first. It's plastic and came in a different box (it reads "World's Smallest Voice Recorder"). I'm sending it back because there are parts missing from the box, and it looks like it may be used. I would order a second if I knew that I was getting the same camera that I got the first time around.Great small compact micro camera, better than I had expected. The micro camera I received has a metal alloy housing with sliding buttons, (cheap copies have plastic housing with push buttons.) Audio is of decent quality at a reasonable but short distance. Image quality and field of view is quite good. Very decent image quality in low lighting situations with quick light response. High resolution 2000K. When panning quickly image appears slanting. Not weatherproof. Well built for most uses.
Features: Manual or sound-activated recording (at 65 decibels, 250 hours standby time, resumes standby mode 2 minutes after detecting sound). Box states 30 frames per second (680*480 AVI video format), but manual states 24 fps. Box states 16G maximum memory, but manual states 8G max. Comes with 2G Micro SD card. Two hour batteries life. Built-in rechargeable batteries. LED indicator light. Come with several accessories. USB 1.1/2.0 support. Multi card reader.
Great for outdoor activates (if you are into high action or rough sports, you may need something more sturdy).
