After reading plenty of positive opinions I decided to get this camera hoping it was going to work better than my Finepix A403 did for video (the Fuji one recording only 20 seconds at 320 x 240) but it's been one disappointment after another.
The camera is made very poorly, the LCD screen image has terrible quality and the information around the lens is nothing but a shiny sticker. The part where the memory card is stored opens whenever you want to connect the USB port.
The video resolution is of 640 x 480 supposedly but the fact is it looks like the image of a webcam from the 90's, at moments it even looks flat and if there's sunlight and the camera is moved around the image expands towards the sides and starts blinking, the sound is terrible and if "night shot" is used every object leaves a glow behind when the camera is moved.
The photographic camera is just as bad, it says it has 8 pixels and a 3328 x 2496 resolution but I've seen better images taken with mobiles at 176 X 144, one huge pixelated image doesn't equal a good resolution, they look blurry, grainy and lack colour.
If you want to record anything remotely important this isn't the right camera.
