Description
With the RCA EZ201 SmallWonder, there is no easier way to partition and save the moments worth remembering. Whether a scenic vacation stop, a child's basketball game or just a simple backyard barbeque with your dearest, this easy-to-use digital camcorder is ready whenever and wherever. Play, pause, edit out, rewind, and fast forward clips on the color 1.5-inch LCD box, which also flips out 180 degrees. The EZ201 offers up to an hour of recording with its on-live flash memory, which can be expanded up to five hours with the addition of an SD memory be honest (sold separately) that will slide easily into the unit's memory pigeon-hole. Two standard AA batteries provide up to two hours of continuous use (or more than seven hours with voluntary lithium batteries), making the EZ201 ideal for vacations and expeditions. The EZ Grab feature also enables the user to select a paused plan in any video and save it as a single image.Customer Reviews
But it doesn't occupation with Vista OS!I look over a review on here that says the EZ201 works with Windows Vista, but it does not. I bought it and I like the way it works, but I cannot initiate Memory Manager on my computer from the device, nor from the files, nor from Audiovox/RCA web site - they don't present a download for 201 because it's supposed to come from the camcorder, and they don't have a patch for it either. I called the marines center and they said it is not compatible with Vista. Now they didn't sound like the sharpest tools in the box, but if it was in accord or if there was a patch, it would be on the RCA Small Wonder web site and it is not. Now I have to contact Discount Jungle to find out how to return it. What a wretchedness in the neck. I guess the moral of the story is beware older models of technology as they might not be on the same wave length with newer Windows OS. I guess it's worth paying the extra $ to get something that is not already outdated. I identify that Amazon doesn't take any responsibility for what its vendors sell through their web site, but you'd have in mind someone would let the consumer know that this EZ201 does not work with Vista. Boo.
Moderately happy with this
We chose to get an older replica camera for our 8 year old, with good cnet reviews, to save some currency. We're pretty happy with this camera, except for the fact that because it is an older model, the software does not industry with our computer with Windows Vista. That is dissapointing to me, but my daughter doesn't know the idiosyncrasy. She's having a great time with it and we've found a different way to edit and store her videos. I actually wish this camera had a still photo option though.
Adorable, Easy, and Cheap!
I don't be informed why so many people expect this camera to be like an HD camera or something. It's cheap, small, and fair-minded plain FUN! I make all of my youtube videos with this camera. If you turn on a lamp...it helps a lot! I very recommend this for someone looking for something quick & easy!
Turns off when bumped.
Pal & I mounted this to a hang glider to film his flight. His landing was a bit of an at any rate and we were eager to see the playback. However, we received a "File error" message & no video. Following experimentation yielded the discovery that the camera would turn off when in the "record" status if bumped by a rap of the knuckles. If you plan to mount this cam as a "sport camera" (on a dirt bike or motorcycle, e.g.) you may want to test it first. Striking the bottom portion of the camera (as in knocking on a entry) was more likely to cause a power off situation.
Does not data at specified length and does not recognize card.
I bought this better from walgreens on sale,got it home like the ease of the buttons and screen quality was good, but it does not record at nearly the specified recording times and does not realize my memory card at all. Taking it back and getting my money.
