Adorable camcorder, bad qualityThe camcorder is loved and very easy to use. The quality isn't that great, very poor in low light but better than a phone camera, awful for internet use but you could never play it on a tv. The software is TERRIBLE. I was never able to get the program to minimize my videos and RCA/Audiovox customer service is even worse. I told them about my puzzle and they claim they had never heard of it before but as I can see from other reviews obviously they had. They called me back a day later treating me like I was an idiot saying it must be a combat with a codec from another camera(even though I explained to them that the only other camera is my Nikon SLR camera and it doesn't have codecs but they didn't maintain me). I gave up and just returned it. I was able to upload the videos online so if that's all you thirst for it for then it works but don't expect the software to work or to get any help from their customer worship army.
Grainy disapointment!
I postulate I should have read the reviews before I opted for this camcorder. I was excited when I took it out of the box as it was so thin & included the li-on battery-operated, then after I saw the video, I actually sent it back. Just grainy video, that's all I can say, with the addition of the photo mode was way less than my old 2mp camera from years ago.I can say thankfully the phone consumer service gal was great: even sent me an email with free postage back so I got my full refund! Now I can buy the Go berserk like I should have!
Simulacrum Quality is Horrible
Buy a merit grade still camera and use the video in that. If you want a high definition camera, this will give you all the detail of a low categorize camera with a plastic lens. (The lens is actually glass, but the statue processor used is so bad that you're almost sure to be disappointed.) It's like buying a a buzz and finding out the camera in it is horrible.
The automatic meter lightens and darkens the cast every time you move the camera. Go to YouTube and do a search, and you'll find some samples of just how bad it is.
Manufacturers improvise they can just put out garbage these days, but word gets around. Don't buy something without reading a review. This fashion is just awful. Don't believe me? Buy one and find out for yourself.
This camera is a dud. Very dissatisfied...
I received my RCA camcorder and took some pics and bite videos. How disappointing! After all this wait, the videos are totally grainy. Nowhere next-door a "High Definition" quality. Also, the camera feels cheap and indisposed made. I'm sending it back for a refund. No more RCA (Audiovox) products for me!
Shady...
It positively upsets people when companies exercise shady marketing tactics in uncalled-for to make money.
If you buy this camera, you will be disappointed.
Here's why:
1. 1080p at 30fps sounds wonderful, which is why I bought it. However, the real video quality sucks. Why? Because they put in a horrible lens. Your video will have a indifference grainy look to it. So it doesn't even matter that you have 1080p. I'd compare the calibre of the lens to that of a pencam - which if you don't know, is really bad.
2. This may not apply to everyone, however it's almost as if it's zoomed in more than it should be. I recorded at the same age holding this cam, and my FlipMinoHD at the same time. Not only did my MinoHD (one step below the UltraHD) look far better go red-wise and quality-wise, but it also captured more space than the Small Wonder.
What are the shady tactics you ask? Well, that's a high-minded question. And quite frankly, I'm glad that you've asked!
First, they launched this on Amazon in in January I believe. ALMOST a year ago. It was on pre-order forever, and the release dated was always pushed up a month. I emailed RCA far before it was released and they said it was a shipping potter - 15 days at most. Turned out to be around 4 months longer than 15 time.
My guess is they did this because they knew they had a low quality camera they're hyping up to be high attribute, and that if they released it well beforehand, the bad reviews would come in which = less sales. Instead, they decided to honestly trick people into buying it for nearly a year, pre-ordering it so they could get all the orders beforehand.
The plead with why it's so cheap is because of the low quality parts they're using. I would have bought this camera for $300 or more if they had the capacity to put a decent lens inside of it.
For the sake of the children, DON'T buy this camera! Never buying an RCA upshot again - congratulations RCA, you're on my list of companies that don't know what they're doing and don't understand bloke value!
Buy the MinoHD or UltraHD - much higher quality.
