Easy to use, fulfills most camcorder needs By Joseph Russell I actually bought the Insignia NS-DV720P digital camcorder. It is essentially the same as this one with a slightly larger screen. I bought this on Black Friday since it was on sale at a local electronics store. I have to say it is about the easiest camcorder I've ever worked with. First I'll do the technical specs. Specs: 720P camcorder 5MP camera LED light for recording in low light conditions Supports SD cards up to 4GB and SDHC cards up to 32GB 128MB internal memory Can record in multiple formats (AVI or MOV) depending on preference Built in microphone and speaker Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Mac OS 10.5 Dimensions: 4.3" H x 3.2" W x 1.1" L Weight: 0.4 lbs Screen size 3" Includes: Insignia 720P digital camcorder Wrist strap Carrying pouch Adapter/charger 3 foot USB cable 4 foot AV cable (for viewing straight to TV) Quick setup guide 1 Lithium ion rechargable battery (chargable via PC or standard outlet) CD with user guide, device driver software and video editing software Usage/Pros: After about five minutes total of reading the short manual and fiddling around with the camera I had all the controls and functions figured out. When mounted on a tripod the video is very smooth. If pointed at a bright light source it will take a second to adjust automatically. When testing it for a few minutes with a walking motion while trying to hold the camera steady the video was pretty smooth and looks great. Hooking everything up to the computer is easy and smooth to use with no troubles uploading videos to your PC or directly to Youtube. With a 4GB memory card you can get up to 1750 photos or 2:11:32 of video. I definitely suggest this camcorder (NS-DV720P) for all your holiday and event needs. Usage/Cons: Speaker is mounted on the side which works fine when close to the sound source (i.e. < 10 feet). When testing it for sound at a TV 25 feet away the audio was difficult to hear. Even with a human speaking at 25 feet away in a normal voice it can be heard, but is difficult. There is no mic outlet to plug in a microphone. The camcorder is just slightly too big enough to fit in a pants pocket, but would fit in a purse fine. Unsure: I don't know charge times or total usage time per charge. Not sure about editing but it does allow quick Youtube uploads. Overall impressions: It is mostly stylish, similar to most handheld video cameras on the market. It is quick and convenient to operate. It is small and light enough to be easy to use for extended periods. You can't take it everywhere (like the clubs that those uber-small cameras on the market make you think you'd take it) but it works great and that's all I needed. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great camera for the price By Anubis Works pretty good so far. Picture quality is good but not great. It saves in .avi format, which is really convenient. All in all, I'd recommend this as an affordable camcorder. 0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Insignia Camcorder By TK Was excited to get this camcorder - until I opened the package and found that the battery isn't working properly. This camera will only work when plugged into an outlet. Got a new battery (additional cost) and we are good to go. See all 4 customer reviews...
