 Bloggie July 15, 2010
Dutchess (Manhattan)
I am so glad I purchased the Bloggie! It takes fantastic pictures, wonderful videos and what I like most about it is, once you download the video, you can actually pick a scene from the video and turn it into a picture!! I love how easy and fun it is to share the video and pictures on Facebook or my Blog. My father said that it's really simple and quick to download the videos that I send to his email address as well. I recommend this product to anyone. I would also like to say that the battery life is exemplary as well. I recommend the hard shell protector case to go with this product.
 nice camcorder for its price July 5, 2010

If you're not a big fan of technology this camcorder/camera its a good option for you. Nice image, nice colors. only disadvantage: poor quality in low ligth situations. great for outdoors.

It's very good cam for day light use, because it doesn't have a flash then you're pretty much bound to making movies and pics only at day time, which is good enough for family trips.
It's very small and very easy t carry around.
Good quality pics as well.
Great camera for the money May 5, 2010

While it does HD, don't expect the 1080P quality to be like watching a Blu-Ray movie. But for the money, all around good camera. Loved the fact that it has 5X optical zoom. Like most low-end camcorders, it struggles in low light - especially in the HD modes (I found using 760 30P to be the best compromise for low light indoors, and 760 60P for outdoor action sequences). Saw a review on CNET that advised not to use the built in image stabilization, so I've avoided that and been pleased overll. For under $200, a good buy!
Great little camcorder April 24, 2010

I purchased this camera and only tested it briefly before going on vacation to Disney World.
It performed beautifully in many sutuations, including the fireworks show. It is slow focusing in low light, but the quality of the videos, once focused, is very good. I also tested the 5MP stills and the quality was very good.
My only complaint is the screen. As with all cameras w/o an eyepiece, or even your cell phones, it is very difficult to see in sunlight. Even with the brightness up full, you must try to stand in the shade to get some idea of what is on the screen. One suggestion is to throw a towel, jacket or whatever over your head and camera, that should help. p.s. I did not try that.
The software supplied is something else. I still haven't gotten it to work correctly and video downloads will not run within the PMB program supplied. I have to use a quicktime video program to view on my PC.
However, that said, the videos play beautifully on my HD TV.
Buy a minimum of 16GB SD class 4 card and another battery and you are all set. USB charging is horrible, agonizingly slow.
Buy a charger and you will get a full charge in 90 minutes and not hours and hours that the USB hookup takes.
Enjoy! It's a fun camera.
