I bought one of these on a previous Woot. Great video camera and still picture camera. 2 in one. I am so happy I bought this. Tuck it away in your pocket till you need it. HD looks wonderful on my HD TV. What surprised me was the great pictures that it takes. 10 MEG camera. We just went to the zoo and I took a ton of video’s of my grandson and many pictures.Uses SD cards and the 3X optical zoom is a plus. Extra batteries were cheap and the charger was cheap. Get batteries at about $4 each. Buy it you won’t be sorry.
