Digital camera reviews of RCA EZ205 Small Wonder Digital Camcorder with 2 Hour Recording and 1GB Included Memory

Digital camera Review: Better than I Expected- read my later updates!
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this camcorder wearily because I wasn't sure how good it would be. It's a LOT better than I expected. I love the video quality and am not finding much difference between the high and web qualities. It's so light, small and portable! I am a counseling student and I am going to use this to tape my practice and it's perfect! It's also easy to write to DVDs and upload online. I'll post a video review shortly.

The two bad things about it are: I am worried about the USB dongle breaking... hopefully it'll stay put! And the still photos are pretty bad but I did not get it for that purpose.

Update: December 09
The same day I got it, I noticed a crack on the plastic casing over the flip screen hinge. I did not mention it in the review because Amazon sent a replacement almost instantaneously. However the one they sent has a crack on the same spot. I'm not sure if everyone received it with the same crack- please comment and let me know! The crack doesn't have any effect on the camcorder right now, but if it widens I'm worries it could break!

Update: December 09
Ok after spending further time with it, I found out that you cannot record more than upto an hour at a time, even if you have high capacity memory in it. After an hour, the unit gives you a warning about maximum capacity and shuts down. There is still room in the memory card, and you can turn the unit back on and start recording again. However, when it automatically shut down, it didn't even save what I was recording for that past hour! Seems like a bad software design... hopefully they'll have a firmware update or something. It's annoyingly limiting and does not serve my purpose anymore because I need to record more than an hour sometimes without getting up to restart it.

However the video quality is very good- and if you record short clips and don't get a cracked unit- it's a great option!
