Note: I previously purchased and reviewed this item, the seller removed it, and has now relisted it. The item itself appears unchanged, but some minor things like the instructions or packaging may have been updated.
REVIEW (6/20/09)
[3/5] Audio
64kbps 8bit PCM
Audio records at somewhat low volume, but is understandable with louder than normal playback. If you are trying to record anything lower than a normal conversational voice, don’t bother. Audio is not completely clean, as some white noise will be recorded. Needs improvement.
Video (This is a pinhole camera, so don’t expect to record your latest music video.)
320×240: AVI 1843kbps 24bit FFDS
640×480: AVI 5287kbps 24bit FFDS
[4/5] Well lit in natural light: Quality is good. Colors are fairly accurate. Scene appears nearly as well lit as reality.
[3.5/5] Normal lit: Quality is fair. Colors are muted. Scene appears darker and more shaded than reality. Still respectable.
[4.5/5] Stealth: The camera faces the same side as the clip. The camera is within a small round indentation and is pin size. The microphone is located on top of the device with five small pinholes in a + pattern. The device is made of a matte black plastic similar to a mass produced quality ink pen (not a cheap Bic, better than that). When in your shirt pocket, and recording, this device appears to be an ink pen when viewed from the front. Because of the width of the body, it is somewhat noticeable that something isn’t quite right if viewed from above (say, over your shoulder) or if your shirt clings to the sides of the device.
[4/5] Stealth (lights): On the backside of the device where the buttons are, there is a pinhole light that is bright red to indicate when it is on. While recording, this light flashes bright blue. If in 640×480 mode, there is a separate dim green light. Lights are not an issue when the device is in your pocket, but you should keep them in mind while putting the device in place as they may reflect off surfaces – including your hand. Needs improvement.
[4/5] Instructions: The manufacturer instructions have some issues, but the typed instructions are pretty good. There are some mistakes; most notably there is no step 2. Needs improvement.
[5/5] Operation: Simple. Insert microSD according to diagram on device. Move switch to ON position. Hold REC/STOP until light goes off. Red light comes on. If MODE light off, then 320×240; if on, then 640×480. Press REC/STOP. Flashing blue light comes on – recording. Press REC/STOP to stop. Record as many videos you want and move switch to OFF when finished. Must be ON when inserted in USB. Recommend copy video to PC to view.
[?] Battery: The battery in the device is charged by plugging the device into a powered USB slot. I don’t know how long the battery lasts or how long it takes to charge. The instructions say it takes less than 2hrs to charge.
[?] Reliability: Device appears well made.
[4.5/5] Packaging: The packaging for this product is quite good. There is a thin black slipcover over a black insert that is cut out to fit the device precisely and there is some foam rubber like material integrated into the insert. It should not be damaged during shipping. There is no product name or text of any kind on the packaging. (Note: The box includes some starbursts near the real image of the camera that appear to indicate lights. Thankfully, there are no lights there. The starbursts should be removed.)
OTHER INFO
Windows XP automatically recognized it as a Syntek USB MSDC USB Device.
Recording info: I tested the recording length by recording until the memory ran out. I then deleted the file and recorded in the other resolution. (Note: There was a glitch with the 320×240 recording where it recorded one file and then recorded a second file automatically – I had intended to record just one until the memory ran out. Strange.)
2GB microSD
320×240 2hr 25min 15sec 1.84GB
640×480 0hr 48min 41sec 1.84GB
Included: This device comes with a 2GB Sandisk microSD card, an SD card adaptor, a short USB extension cord (not required to use), manufacturer instructions, and a typed page of instructions that I guess comes from the seller – Ultimate Gadgets.
Measurements: 4 9/16″ (total) x 1 3/16″ (body) x 1/2″ (body)

This lens hood fit perfectly on my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Screws on firm and easy and is removed just as easy. There is an alignment mark on the hood to line up with center marks lenses.
Be careful if the lens you are getting this for rotates at the end. The Nikon 18-55mm kit lens rotates at the front thus, the hood will rotate with it and be a little less effective (a rubber/round hood would be better in this case)

]]>Comparing specifications of each camera will insure that you get the best quality camera for your money. You also need to keep in mind which specifications are most important to you. This will all depend on what you intend on using your camera for.
One specification you may want to look at is the zoom. Make sure you look at the digital and optical zoom. The amount of zoom a camera has can vary greatly. If you are just going to be using your camera for recording special occasions and family events you will probably not need a camera with a huge zoom. Many times you will be close enough that you do not need to use all the zoom that the camera is capable of. If you are more of a professional you may need a camera that is a little more sophisticated.
Size of the camera is another concern for some people. Size used to reflect the quality of the picture that was recorded, but not anymore. Thanks to companies like Sony, Panasonic, and Canon, to name a few, size does not affect quality. Mini cameras can now take just as high-quality pictures as the bigger ones. Once again what you will be using your camera for will help you determine how much size will affect your decision.
Another specification that you might want to look at is what you will be recording on. You can now buy HD camcorders, and digital camcorders that record on tapes, or DVD’s, or right onto a hard drive. If you are recording onto a hard drive you will want to know how much memory you have available. You can get many hours of recording on a hard drive. With a hard drive you don’t have to worry about carrying extra tapes around with you. You also don’t have to worry about running out of tape in the middle of your special occasion. Your hard drive will insure that you get the whole event on one tape without interruptions.
Battery life is another specification that may be important. Some batteries will record more hours than others. If you plan on needing your camera for long periods of time you will want to make sure you have a battery with a long life. The fewer times you have to change the battery or the tape the easier your recording will be.
There are many specifications for you to compare when purchasing your camcorder. Make sure you do a little research so that you know what you are looking at when you get to the store.

This bag is good for photography starters with maybe 2 lenses. An XSi with 18-55mm kit lens fits well into the bag with extra rooms below the lens as well as plenty of room on the side, which can be used for another average telephoto lens and an external flash unit.
The front pocket can have a lot of accessories, including the battery charger, filters, wires and cables, compass etc. Two side pockets, and one has zipper, which is good for additional batteries and memory cards. There is also a pocket on the cover, which can be used for things like lens cloth.
There is no zipper on the cover. It simply flips down and is locked in place by a velcro + a plastic bracket, it is fast, but also leaves a lot of space to allow dust, particles, water or even a hand to reach the camera inside. However, it may be difficult for someone to nab the camera through this space, especially if it has a lens mounted.
This bag is probably not going to work for full-frame bodies and/or fast long focal length lenses. But seriously, if you have such equipment, you probably wouldn’t trust this bag anyways.
