I really liked this camera for its versatility, compact size and sleek design. The all-in-one's compact profile makes it easy to slip into your bag and take with you when you don't want to carry a large camcorder. The video and sound are good and the pixels are very good. BUT two minus points: 1. Problems with the battery (2xAA). It charges batteries faster than I'd like and doesn't like turning on reliably with some batteries, even when they're new or fully charged. It's frustrating. 2. After a while, the tiny internal on/off switch broke down beyond repair. I took it apart and a very small moving part of the switch detached from the switch housing which is printed circuit board mounted and beyond repair. However, had a good run of about forty bucks. I will not replace it with the same one.
