Does it take actual photos? Or is it just a camcorder

It does both fairly well given it's price point. The camera itself worked well for me but the exterior material is very slippery and I found it difficult to find a non-slip cover that fit it properly

Takes good photos also, loss of image quality quite noticeable on digital zoom. Fantastic video and several modes of time lapse available.

Yes, the camera also takes pictures and records, it is very good I recommend it.

It's a video cam, not one for still pics. Simple to operate and you should practice your landings to be sure it stays operational, although mine has taken quite a bit of abuse and still records just fine. The media it uses is the same as the micro SD you'd use in a smart phone.

yes, the cam is low res but i have taken several pics. it also has a dedicated screenshot button on the screen which is nice.

Yes, it does have a camera, but the view finder and camera are on the same side. Great for "selfies", but a bit more difficult for true photo taking.

Yes, generally it takes good pictures. It also has a little box that recognizes faces. The sound quality on the little videos it takes is amazingly good.

It's good for simple videos with adequate light and sound. Keep in mind it is not a camcorder. It's fine for living room stuff and casual outdoor stuff, however you cannot zoom once it's recording.The video quality (and sound for video) is actually better than some portable blogging cameras (the ones specifically made for shooting low-res video)

Yes it has a camera & shoots still & video. It has lenses front & Back. What it shoots is fair at best. I don't use the camera except for Skype where it's Ok. Al Lee

My son and I have "played" around with the video recording mode a couple times- I am no expert nor the best person to critique it, however I have had several camcorders and they seem better at video recording than this camera- but for a camera it did alright. I think it takes 29 minutes of video- that's off the top of my head. The camera specs should say. It is a great camera and probably the best entry level slr[t].

Is this camera worth the bucks? Does it really do what it says that it does?

No, just time lapse...overall camera is just okay, it's a hobbyist device at best.

Yes, for all practical purposes the camera is for real. Look at the reviews. They are reflective of the camera. Sometimes people have a bone to pick about certain products.

pics are very clear. it also records video but I haven't downloaded somthind to view them as my computer said it cant read in that format. also I am not very computer savy. the controller has 2 buttons individual buttons for pic and camcorder. you have to push the camcorder button once to start recording then press it again to end the recording. if you don't push it the second time your video will not be saved...

No, it unfortunately does not have a camera or a photo taking function at all. If you want images to be added to the device, you will have to upload them from your computer manually with a USB connection. Hope that helps!

It is both a still camera or video camera. You can change the mode with the buttons on the Camera.

It takes quality pictures in bright situations and if your hands are steady. It uses AA batteries which can come in rechargeable variety. It didnt come with an SD card.

It does have a camera, it's not the greatest but decent. The enV3 is much better.
