Helpful consumer’s review
This camera is a really good camera. Granted it isn’t one of the higher quality ones you can get out there, but for the price and the features you cant beat it. The picture quality is very good in my opinion. I have used it both indoor and outdoor, day and night and was pleased with the outcome. The movie mode does have sound as long as you do the playback on a computer. The movie quality isn’t too bad….once again for the price. The camera is very simple to use and also has a simple mode. This also triples as a pc cam, so all in all you are getting 3 cams in one. With that said if you are looking to take good pics, decent movie clips, and have a pc cam then this is the way to go whether you are on a budget or not.
