I came from using a (rather disappointing) JVC model that failed to adjust to light, so I was a little apprehensive when I saw another digital video camera model. I couldn’t have been more surprised when I got the package open how sharp and well-lit the picture was. It really is a fabulous little deal for anyone that wants to chronicle their lives.

Any less-than-5-star reviews of this camcorder that were written during Summer 2006 simply miss the point of the device. The Pure Digital Point and Shoot camcorder is one of the most easy-to-use electronic devices I have ever used. With only 6 buttons (on/off, play, delete, zoom in/out, backward/forward, and stop/pause) one is able to digitally record and save events with the greatest of ease. Very little instructional material is packaged with this device because it is simply not needed. Coming complete with batteries, I was able to start recording immediately out-of-the-box. For the price and convenience – currently only $130 and virtually no setup time for recording spontaneous events – the Point and Shoot camcorder simply cannot be beat. There are two drawbacks to this device: memory and image quality. With only 512MB of unexpandable memory, the device only stores 30 minutes of footage. However, downloading footage to your PC or laptop is incredibly easy as the device has a built-in USB port that connects directly with no additional cabling needed.
Fits in your pocket, can take it everywhere, so easy to use. At this price, it’s amazing!
But what it does do it does well. You push the big red button and it records good quality video (quality is impressive for the price). I’m a big fan of simple products that work well — like a Nintendo or an iPod. This camera looks a bit like a toy, but it’s durable. This would actually make a good toy for a kid or an adult. The ergonomics are nice. It’s comfortable to hold. The quality of construction is very good. I like the fact that it runs on two ordinary AA batteries, so you don’t need a charger. I would buy another one of these — or maybe even a few of them. Buy a bunch of them and pass them out at a wedding. Duct tape one to your motorcycle helmet. Tie one to a kite.
Bought the camcorder as a gift for the wife as she is always taking pictures of our young grand daughter. To say she is happy with the camcorder is an understatement. The device works great under all lighting conditions. Down loading the files is a snap, no CD to load or mess with. Easy to carry, use, and download. I think it’s a keeper.
I’ve been using my Pure Digital Point and Shoot camcorder for two weeks and love it! No more heavy camera, bulky film, or adapter cartridges to lug around. I’ve “filmed” in the park with the little guy, on the deck with the big guy, and inside just on general principles. The download feature puts my videos on my computer in seconds, and I can sort and burn DVDs easily. The picture’s sharp, the sound is very good, and the color is mostly true, depending on the light (I’ve recorded only in natural light inside and out). With only 4 buttons, even I can’t mess it up! My only question is how did they make something so great and package it so small?
