This was probably the best present my son has ever received. He wore it for several days. The video quality is surprisingly good for the price of a camcorder. I have yet to test the software, but the videos load onto my computer with no problems. We posted all videos in [.]. Search for jpragusa and these are all videos shot with this camera. I would also recommend taking an SD card with you. We have 4GB and haven't had any storage issues.
