A Good Value, But Know What You Are Getting!October 30, 2008 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EH0IIHOBJGG1 We found the "Jazz DV151" pocket camcorder at one of the big box stores for somewhat less than the current retail price on Amazon. At roughly 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (White), it seemed to be worth the risk of buying it as a backup pocket camcorder. Here are my observations:
Pros: * Acceptable video quality *FOR THE PRICE* - it is only 320x240, not even VGA (the Flip wins hands down) * Very good microphone - this was real surprise, the microphone is more sensitive than the Flip * Has built in USB connector - Like the Flip, but only USB 1.1 * Comes with a USB extension cable! * Works as a SD card reader when connected to PC via USB (see above) * Has Video Out - can be connected to a TV for playback, cables included * 1.5" LCD screen can rotate for convenient viewing while self recording (the Flip cannot) * Saves files in AVI format - No conversion needed
Cons: * Low video quality - it is 320x240 (but again good for the price) * Does not come with any memory - You must buy a SD card (up to 2GB) before using
Misc: * Uses 2 AA batteries (not included)
So for a really inexpensive camcorder, with YouTube usable quality, this is a fairly good option. For use in any meaningful way, not so much.
