Pretty good camera

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3M2RK2ADRZDZQ This video is my review of this Coby Cam. I've only had it a few days, but I'm pretty happy with it. I forgot to mention about the USB slot on the other side of the camera and cord where you can connect to your computer's USB port and load images and movie files that way, if you so choose. I just prefer removing the SD card and doing it that way, because it's quicker. Oh, yeah, the still pictures I took with it looked pretty good too. The digital zoom is nice also.
Ultra Portable Fun

Reviewer: Avid Reviewer, San Jose, CA
Even though the Coby CAM3000 has a puny 1.3 MP pixels (1280 x 960), I'm pleasantly surprised that the quality of the video looks very descent on my 21" monitor (@ 1680 x 1050 screen resolution); it looks only very slightly pixelated. Considering how affordably priced this mini camcorder is, I'd say it's a real bargain.

- Build Quality
The build quality is really quite good -- this mini camcorder does not look cheap to be sure. Although it has a shiny, not rugged, plastic exterior, it seems to be fairly scratch resistant. All the buttons are firm, not jiggly.

- SD Card Expansion Slot
The mini camcorder has about 20 MB of built-in memory, which is sufficient for only a few seconds of recording (makes me wonder why they even bother including the built-in memory). No problem - it has an SD card expansion slot. I have no trouble getting the mini camcorder to recognize my high-capacity SD card. I'm using a Kingston 8 GB microSDHC Card with an SD card adapter (came with the Kingston package).

- Digital Zoom
This mini camcorder actually has digital zoom-in/out, as opposed to optical zoom (better). The trouble with digital zooming is the image gets pixelated when you zoom in. The zooming is also a little choppy.

- LCD Screen
The display on the LCD screen is very clear. The LCD screen is somewhat smallish, but it's perfectly adequate nonetheless.

---
For the price, this mini camcorder produces some very descent 1280 x 960 videos. The quality isn't on par with that from a regular camcorder, of course, but it is more than adequate if you're planning on using your videos on y0utube. It's ultra portable and perfect for some quick and casual takes.
Fun camera. Great for YouTube!

I picked up two of these for family members and they love them. Really good value for your $$. Easy to use and decent quality videos. Don't expect HD for $30, but you can't beat it for the price. Will take up to an 8GB SD card which will record over 2 hours of video. Also will take stills. Small size makes it easy to carry around. Do your kids always want to use your expensive video camera to make their own videos? Does that make you nervous? Get them one of these instead. Simple to use, even young kids can operate it and it is fun to see the videos that they make. Putting the videos on YouTube could not be simpler. I took a video and then put the SD card into the card slot on my computer and uploaded directly off the card to YouTube. Easy peasy!
Awesome & Inexpensive-See Video

Why You Should Buy Digital Camcorder

camcorderAs the price of digital camcorders decreases gradually, they’re becoming an alternative for people who up until now had been satisfied with regular cameras. Although camcorders will never replace photography, still, there is a great number of good reasons to buy one, especially if you can get it at a reasonable price. The primary use of digital camcorders is to enable you to record home videos. Actually, what I mean here is to save memories, not just home videos which you will send to TV channels in order to earn a little money (although you can do that, too). In fact, there are several better ways not to forget your holidays, what your kids were like when they were small, your pets, and most important moments like weddings, birthdays, etc. And the best thing is that, after so many years, you can show them to people who weren’t old enough to remember that, or weren’t even born.
