DC DXG-301V Digital Video Recorder with MPEG4 & Digital Still Capability

Biggest piece of junk

I purchased this item for my son for Christmas last year. He was able to use the camera for video for a small amount of time due to the lack of internal memory. He then installed the memory card (recommended with the camera) and then the system would not turn on. It seems that the memory card slot was not designed well. Once you take out the card, the camera would work. We tested the card in another device and it worked properly. We sent the camera back to the manufacturer and they had it for about 10 days and sent it back with no problem found. We still cannot use the camera with the memory card in it. Do not buy!!!!!

Crummy

This camera is cheap quality and doesn't produce good results. Invest in a real camera. Don't buy this one.

Possibly two stars... Maybe...

The camera itself wasn't all that bad. The video quality was okay, the picture quality was fine. But it was the sound quality of the video that really threw me off. I got this as a Christmas present and loved it... Until I tried playing the video back. In a nutshell, it is nearly impossible to hear anything anyone is saying if they're further than 10 or less feet away, even when you download the video to the computer. So I thought to myself, why not just buy a microphone for it? Wrongo! I found out the hard way that it isn't possible to use a microphone with the camcorder.

So, if you just want a camera to make music videos or other silent productions, I guess this is fine for that. But if you're looking for a decent quality video camera for school or home videos or short productions, I would CERTAINLY not reccomend this.

This one is a product of bad quality, the cap of the batteries to a few days I damage enough of light is needed in order that the sign meets slightly clear, product of bad quality I do not recommend it to him(you,them) and for quality the price must be low

Not What I Expected

When I purchased this item, I was expecting a video recorder that can also take still photographs. Instead it is a still camera with video recording capabilities. The product name is misleading.

That does not mean that is a bad camera. In fact it is a great camera, if the user intends to use it primarily for still photographs. For video recording I would recommend something else. The resolution is only 640x480 and the results are heavily pixelated videos. The device also produces horrible monophonic sound recording.
