 perfect Christmas gift January 15, 2009

absolut great for a first time action camera. creates hours of playtime-and that's what I bought it for. the double function as webcam was was welcomed too.
good quality for the price. sure it is not as fast as alternatives probably are - but that doesn't really matter for the intended purpose of capturing "action"
Lots of fun March 18, 2006

I purchased this for my nephew and he loves it. He and his friends like to jump a small ramp on their bikes and take videos. He also is learning to ride a skateboard and they make action movies while following each other.
He showed me the software on his PC, it is really easy to use, and has a lot of clips and pictures of Tony Hawk that he uses to make movies. He can add things like background music and special effects.
Now I'm his 'cool' aunt for buying him this Tony Hawk camera -- highly recommended!

I love this camera! I use it in a racecar...on dirt. The only thing I don't like is ... it only records for 15 minutes. If you want to record incar camera action this is the way go!
 Pretty Darn Nice Camera - For What It Is May 29, 2007

I was skeptical that this camera would be really bad - I mean, how many of these gadgets are just inferior quality with less than acceptable output. Well, this one surprised even me! After installing two AAA batteries and the supplied SD card, my sons and I took it outside to test it out. We decided to place it on a baseball helmet and see if we could get some live action "at the plate" video. We learned a few things - 1) This is actually a pretty good camera - while it is not the best resolution - it can capture videos akin to what you can view on youtube. So not really that bad. The color is good and the sound is very good. 2) You need good light to capture decent video. - The sun was going down when we took the videos and things got backlit pretty badly. But even at sunset, if you capture the action where the light is hitting it, it is very good. So you need good light.
The camera is super simple to use, push a button and you hear a pleasant chime and you are recording. Press it again and it stops recording. There is a blinking camera icon on the small LCD screen which indicates recording and a nifty clock-like indicator showing how much of the memory card you have used up. It also shows the number of video clips you have taken and there is also a button for deleting invividual clips...super simple - in fact, my five year old figured it out.
The product is pretty decent quality and looks durable. The supplied helmet strap and usb cable are very sturdy. We thought the product would look dumb strapped to our helmet but it is not that obtrusive.
We decided that baseball did not lend itself well to the cameras intended use since it was way too jerky (but still fun). Biking, skateboarding, skiing, and more "smooth" & steady situations would be ideal. In fact, we strapped the camera to a pole and pointed it at our action and it was great.
I must say, I thought this would be a loser and am very impressed. Our kids didn't know what to think of it and we were not sure they would even like it. They think it is pretty cool and can't wait to discover new uses for it.
In fact, we saw a cool video on the web which showed this camera attached to an R/C airplane and it gave a flyover tour of a city area which looked really really good. Definitely a great camera for kids and adults alike who want some medium resolution fun video clips. Note: this will work with a MAC also if you have an sd card reader for the MAC (does not recognize via usb on MAC only via card reader).

You have to remember you're only spending $[...] or so on this product so you can't expect some awesome quality videos. For the money I paid I was actually suprised how well it works. I used it for horse back riding, videoing on the flat and over fences. It's easy to work and the quality is pretty comparable to the video on my 5mp HP camera. It does only record for 15 minutes at a time but I put a 512MD SD card in there and got three 15 minute clips. For fun this camera is a good buy.
