Review on ViewSonic 3DV5 Pocket 3D HD Camcorder featuring 5M FF Lens (No Longer Manufactured) by Vince Preston

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Takes great pictures with firmware update

Since this camera is the same as aiptek 3D camera and got great reviews after firmware update, I tried it on Viewonic. I downloaded the aiptek 3d firmware update from the UK website and it worked great with the ViewSonic. After the update, there is still the Viewsonic home screen. With no refresh, the frames were a bit blocked and it seemed like it was only 10 fps. With the update applied, the images look a bit grainy but not blocky and the frames per second appear to be around 25 which seems like a big improvement in quality. I tried to update because I wasn't happy with the unboxing and the video she made. Photos were good, videos were bad. After updating the firmware, the video is good and the risk was worth it with a good camera.

Pros
