Digital camera reviews of RCA EZ201 Small Wonder 60 Minute Point-and-Shoot Camcorder (White)
Digital camera Review: EZ 201 camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
Good price and fast service. Easy to use just point and shoot, works on AA batteries. Great for sending video email to family and friends. Would recommend to anyone and will shop again.Digital camera Review: EZ 201 works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
It worked without major problems. Videos are adequate quality.
Problem areas:
It is difficult to see the screen in daylight outside, particularly on sunny days. My wife and I both took long videos of the ground thinking we had turned the thing to stand by. It would have helped to have it make different sounds when shooting video vs going to stand by. For all I know it does, I am half deaf.
Adobe Elements 6 makes only a generic Thumbnail of each video. I don't know if that is a problem with Adobe or RCA?
Overall I rate this little devise higher than the much talked about Flip which lacks the SD card slot. Sound is acceptable.
Good luck with yours.
Digital camera Review: Easy to use, OK video
Summary: 3 Stars
The ergonomics of this device are pretty good. Simple buttons to do all common operations, no complex setup menus. The power switch does tend to get pushed by accident if you put it in your pocket though.
Video quality is OK, and works well for small size playback, but is not good for larger screen viewing. The MPEG4 compression makes things reasonably small, but given the mediocre quality, I would have expected the movies to take less memory than they do. The colors are somewhat washed out, compared to the movies my old Canon digital camera took. The low cost makes this a good camera to let my kids use. I wouldn't use it
for anything I really wanted to treasure though.
Digital camera Review: Easy to use, but some problems.
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased this item because it was light weight, relatively inexpensive and with the 2 gig memory card could shoot 4 hours of video.
Biggest problem was daytime shooting. With the sun at your back (as most shots are taken)it is virtually impossible to see the screen. This product could use a hood or mask to solve the problem.
Also, the product does not come with a lot of information on how to use it with the 2 Gig card attached.
But the video results we got were pretty good considering its size and simplicity.
Digital camera Review: Excellent product
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this product last week. Although I have not used it extensively, I found it intuitive and easy to use. I love the flip-out USB port, and the application software is already on the video; I did not need to install any software form disk. The audio quality wasn't as good as I liked; hence the 4 stars instead of five. However, I found the quality of the picture to be very good. I am an amateur, but this would be sufficient for any family taking video. The internal memory is short (30 minutes high-def), so get a memory card. Overall, excellent product.
