Customer Reviews

Digital Blue American Idol Digital Camcorder - 510
The camera works great. My daughter really enjoyed it. The one complaint I have is there is no easy way to contact their tech support for assistance because the CD that came with it does not install the driver fort he camcorder correctly. Luckily my daughter had a friend who purchased this same camcorder about 8 months prior and the CD that came with it had an earlier software version and driver and we were able to complete the installation.

This is a fun gadget for the kids. However, it did not come with any instructions. If my boys (ages 9 and 12) hadn't used the device at the science museum movie camp this summer we never would have figured out how to use it. (Plus my husband is a software developer. That helped too).

The boys made stop-gap animation movies using their matchbox cars. The quality is decent for what we paid for it.

To date, 1-20-2006, a month later, the charge remains on my account and has not been credited as promised. This does not seem like a very good business practice.
