EZ 201 works as advertised [Posted on 2008-06-15] It worked without major problems. Videos are adequate quality.
Problem areas:
It is difficult to see the screen in daylight outside, particularly on sunny days. My wife and I both took long videos of the ground thinking we had turned the thing to stand by. It would have helped to have it make different sounds when shooting video vs going to stand by. For all I know it does, I am half deaf.
Adobe Elements 6 makes only a generic Thumbnail of each video. I don't know if that is a problem with Adobe or RCA?
Overall I rate this little devise higher than the much talked about Flip which lacks the SD card slot. Sound is acceptable.
Good luck with yours.
Awesome Camera [Posted on 2008-06-16] I love this thing! I am currently in Iraq and I use this to send videos of all kinds of stuff to my family. I love the integrated software and it is super easy to upgrade. Just download the file, plug in your cam, and double click the file.
exceeded expectations [Posted on 2008-06-16] This little camera delivered the goods on what it said it would do. It shoots great vhs quality movies in long play mode,and near dvd quality in HQ mode. The memory manager is very simple but does the job very well. You can watch your movies on your tv,computer or the camcorder itself.All options proved to have a good picture. The memory cards are easy to use and access as long as you read the directions,the website also gives great support on it's support page. It does eat through those doulble A's,get some lithiums or rechargeble's,last alot longer that way. For about 100 bucks you get a heck of a camera with sd expansion capability,and the same picture quality of a flip. Get the Small wonder you won't be dissapointed!
Great little camera ruined by buggy, garbage software [Posted on 2008-06-16] This is a great little camera except for the trash software that comes with it, which has locked up any number of different computers. No, the video quality isn't the same as you get from an actual DV camcorder, but that's to be expected at the price. The only drawback is the software, which has locked up any number of different computers and operating systems. If they'd get a programmer with a clue, this would be a great product. As it is, it's complete garbage. Don't waste your money on this piece of trash.
Great Deal! [Posted on 2008-07-19] This little movie camera was such a great deal. I use it whenever my son is in a performance. Granted, it's not professional quality but I can slip it into a small bag and film my son's performances. It's easy to shoot the movie and be able to watch what I'm recording without looking at the screen the whole time. You can upload the movie to any computer as the software is built into the camera, and it's very easy to upload the movie to youtube or other video sharing web site.
