Certainly not vollw. Recommended camcorder, but for different. Applications

With a full-blown camera he does not really have much in common.
Alone the maximum VGA resolution disqualified him already, to no optical zoom.

But it is a great device to turn short clips for the Internet or the like.
I use to make sports photography and he does the job to the full satisfaction him with the Aiptek Sporty Cam as a helmet camera.

He's just so big and heavy as a filled cigarette pack and fits in any side or back pocket.
Another plus: He is content with simple Nokia phone batteries. I forget the number, but in normal commercial cost so around 14 EUR. With a 750 mA battery so far I've always put the memory card with 2GB limits. In 2GB fit almost exactly 1.5 hours VGA quality. The battery has a charge always participated.

Meanwhile, I am so far that I the camcorder because of the size and weight often simply take with time. For a few "Schnappfilmchen" it is enough thick and a camera case you do not want yes have always with you.

Conclusion: Certainly not a full-fledged camcorder, but a nice gimmick for the money and in conjunction with the SportyCam a great idea for athletes.
