Customer Reviews

Baby cam
I haven't had alot of use yet. So far so good. I have used it for a soccer game and the clarity at a distance wasn't the best. Close pictures and video seem good. Shipping was awsome, the product has been everything they said it was. The tripod is only about 8 to 10 inches tall, but it get's the job done for still pics and fixed video.

Overall I am very pleased. Biggest bang for the buck.

Cost Effective / Light Camera
I purchased this product specifically for one purpose, which is to mount on my hang glider.

I assembled the plans for a camera mount [...]
The biggest expense of this project was also purchased at Amazon:

Manfrotto 482 Micro Ball Head

The camera fulfilled a couple key objectives for me.

1) Light weight (.36 pounds - The camera mount design claims support for up to 4 pounds, and this weight will have no impact on trim)
2) Small form factor (2.4" x 4.7" x 1" - Compact camera which at these dimensions also do not affect profile of glider while flying.)
3) Solid state (important when you are dealing with an extreme sport, with potentially rough landings)
4) Image Stabilization technology (but most newer cameras have this nowadays)
5) With my Sony Micro PC (Also purchased at Amazon) I am able to quick edit and upload my flight footage to Youtube directly from the mountain)
Sony VAIO VGN-UX380N 4.5-inch Laptop (Intel Core Solo Processor U1500, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, Vista Business)

Spare battery is not yet offered on Amazon and you will need to purchase from SVP directly [...]
The bonus with this packaging is that a 16GB memory card is included. At the time of purchase 16GB card went for close to $43 which brings down the cost of the camera itself to below $100. Transcend TS16GSDHC6 16GB SDHC Card

These are shortcomings observed so far.

1) The camera has I/R remote capabilities but is not included. When I contacted SVP regarding purchasing remote they responded that it was not yet available. (The problem for me is that I wanted the capability of triggering the camera when strapped in and ready to jump. However with 16G I can start the camera and let it run during the long wait times)

Great Camera ... crappy software package
Loved the camera but the software was rather dated and would not work with Vista at all. Only thing to work was to upgrade (pay) for version that would work with Vista. Other than the software included GREAT Camera!
