Very good picture and sound quality and easy operation characterize this small camera. (Only an image stabilizer is sometimes missed - and to use the exclusively digital zoom function better not ...) Nevertheless: For several years I have been running it now up a lot of joy! But now gradually the capacity of the fixed battery diminishes unfortunately what indeed seems quite normal. To get the also firmly integrated memory (1 hour recording time) full, you have now been twice to refuel power ... This is annoying but fairly. Even more bother, however, that the camera can not be used as such while it is connected to the PC: "In the state connected to the computer any movie recording is possible," says succinctly in the description available on the web! This is virtually a clear rejection, the camera but to still continue to use at least the cable A fading Replacement rechargeable battery - for example as a webcam, including built-in microphone. A software engineering missed chance! And a tip that absolutely must not be missing here!
CONCLUSION: It is a pity such a great working camera to degrade only due to a depleted battery for disposable goods ...
