I just downloaded the specs on the camera. The website was very "frugal" about giving out information about this and the other cameras they have for sale. http://www.svp-tech.com
For outdoor shooting and really good lighting inside this camera should be fine. Frank gave a great answer but I wanted to pipe in just a little bit. If I could have advised you before you bought it I would have said pass it by - it is (and has become) a hassle to find video editing programs to support it. I have a flash camcorder DXG Model 202V but it renders in .avi format. I have tested Ulead and I am about 93% happy with it. I do my production work in it, then export a high rez .avi copy. I then import into Windows Movie Maker 2 or QuickTime for the final copy to post on the site. When I buy the full version I'll have access to the manual so I won't have to take the extra steps but I like the quality of what I get. And that is the main point of my ramble. If the hardware and software gets you a good quality video that is the name of the game. Vlog On!

What's up with that file format, and why does this cheap little camcorder use such a strange format? Is it because it's cheap? > >> > >> Thanks.
