Is this camera really a CCD &amp; does it have a good clear image?

Not 100% sure about the CCD part but the image is as good as yo can get with a 700 line CATV system. If you want REALLY GOOD, then get a 3MP IP camera system ( Q-See sells them and they are like.....remember when you went from regular TV to HDTV....LIKE THAT ).

This cam has a larger CCD imager. It is fabualous in low light. Get it you won't regret it.

Pictures are very clear. Color is good. Haven't taken any far away shots yet, mostly pictures of dinner parties and inside and outside photos of people. Of course, have taken lots of photos of my cat too! For the price, I am very happy with this camera. Still have not figured how to set date/time so I turned feature off. Hope this helps.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

Yes the picture quality is quite acceptable. It works the other way too - a Sony still picture camera with a high resolution image capture takes surprisingly great HD video!

For my purposes, yes. My camera needs are something small and durable, and I am satisfied with a camera that takes pictures that arent' fuzzy or grainy but will give me a good image to kindle memories. This camera has taken great pics in all weather and lighting situations. Night pics you must stabilize it, of course, and the images are plenty detailed and clear to identify scenery/persons.

Depends on what you quantify as high quality? It does take excellent photographs, my wife uses it as a P&S; camera. Very nice. Warranty 1yr.

Yes. Pretty much so. The colors are not always vivid but fairly well on target. Obviously, this is not a premium camera but for the price it works very well.

Picture quality is pretty good. I have a Canon EOS which is amazing. But this camcorder is pretty good.

It's full HD so it' very sharp. This is the primary feature for a camera of this price.

It seems like it is. It takes amazing, clear pictures and videos. Best camera I've ever owned. It even focuses and makes everything else blurry in the background if you do it right.

I am satisfied with it. It actually is clearer than my original QC and Lorex cameras. Of course it is also a newer camera that I bought for a replacement that was burned out from lightning.

This isn't a full-frame camera. It's aps-h, 1.3x crop. And if you're shooting astro photography you should be looking into a Nikon d800 or a 5dmkii. This is a camera with 11-year old sensor technology. I bought one to shoot surfers with here in Hawaii broad daylight and I get noise (by modern standards) past about ISO400-500. This camera is great if you're looking for a cheaper 7d and you don't want video capabilities or a screen you can actually see. Don't get me wrong, it's a great camera, but its age definitely shows. I bought one in perfect shape with 42k actuations for $430 and not 3 months later I bought a 7d for $530. The extra money spent on a more modern camera is well-worth it.

Keith.I have found that if I use a digital camera with this unit it is real good. You will have to change a few settings to get the picture right but I found it satisfactory..Hank

It is a color camera, and when I could get it to work it was fairly clear, not HD clear. This is not a reliable camera system.

Yes. Its a decent camera. I am happy with this. The company selling this set was very good too. Over all I am satisfied. You can buy it.

Let me say right now- I AM NOT a super photographer -I just put it on auto and shoot - This camera has TWICE the resolution of my old coolpix - I like it ok; I am happy with it..if you are a photography "nut" you might find fault with it somehow..I recommend see if you can find MORE reviews to get more info
