Customer Feedback :
I bought this camcorder based on the better zoom compared to others in its price range. I was able to start recording with this camcorder right out of the box. It is very simple to setup and quick review of the manual will answer all your questions. I have not used the software but was able to use the USB cable to transfer the video to my computer in a matter of minutes. The sound was fantastic and the video looked better than expected. Overall this is a great camcorder, easy to use, easy to setup. I would recommend one extra battery as the one that comes with it last 90 min.

Customer feedback:

1. Great speed! I was able to copy the contents of my 16GB Corsair Flash voyager over in 15 minutes. Case is big 1″x3″x5/16″ and the cap does not fit well but good enough to be in my pocket.

2. Have owned this flash drive for approx 6 months. I read the reviews regarding the cap being loose, so I placed the drive inside a small nylon flash drive holder on my keyring. The cap stays inside the holder…problem solved, but the cap was not loose on my unit. I encrypted the entire drive with TrueCrypt, formatted to NTFS, and installed the freeware PSMenu portable start menu. Has worked flawlessly, but like any drive I back it up regularly. I work primarily off the flash drive at work. So far it is the most dependable flash drive I have owned. Works fine with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Great data transfer rate. Looking forward to the price coming down on the 128 GB version, but I’m sure I would manage to fill that up too. Highly recommended.
