Pros | Cons |
+ Very versatile | - Hard to tell what’s in frame |
+ Wide selection of extras as standard |
What it does: A tiny camera to “shoot videos of bike rides, runs, sports, hand gliding, events and more.
First Impressions:
- Ease of use – Nice and simple interface.
- Design – Ridiculously small, uncomplicated and sleek.
The front of the camera has nothing but the lens, the back has a loop for your lanyard and the base has a mini USB port for connection to a computer. The right hand side has the Mode button and MicroSd slot, with the power button on the opposite side, with the top button holding the Record/Stop button.
It takes a little time to get the hang of the device, but the manual is well written and easy to follow.
Along with the camera you get a nice selection of peripherals including a protective clear silicon case, belt/pocket clip, wall mount clip, pivot clip, USB cable and a mini-CD with the necessary software on it.
Picture and sound quality are very impressive from such a tiny device.
The drawbacks to the device are that with no screen it is hard to know what’s in frame, and there is also no zoom facility.
