For the price, this is actually a pretty nice little camera.  I've used GoPros in the past so I have a good deal of experience with them for comparison which is good because clearly, that is the product line that this camera is designed to compete with.  The mounts included with the camera (and there are a lot of them) are compatible with all of the other GoPro Hero accessories that I already own and enable you to attach the camera to anything from handlebars to helmets and more.  The instructions for the camera are mixed between English and Chinese sections, but they are definitely adequate to give you a feel for what the camera can do and how to do it.  Furthermore, the menus on the camera itself are very straightforward, and easy to navigate once you spend a few minutes with the camera.

One huge advantage that this camera has over the GoPro camera (unless you want to spend ~$400 for a new device) is the inclusion of a screen on the back of the device.  It may not be necessary for all applications, but it REALLY helps with ensuring that you are getting what you think you are on the camera, as well as is really nice if you are doing any sort of underwater photography/video.  This has been one of my favorite features on this camera, especially when trying to navigate menus.

The waterproof case does seem to exhibit some fogging issues in high humidity environments, but again after using a GoPro for several years, that isn't exactly something new, and there are ways to prevent that.  My biggest issue however is with the lens on the camera.  Part of it is my fault--I didn't note the last part of the description stating that this has a wide angle lens, and part of it again comes down to using similar products in the past.  With a GoPro, even though it has a wide angle lens you can go into the settings and adjust the FOV.  With this camera, the FOV is fixed and cannot be changed.  Personally, this isn't a dealbreaker for me, but it may be important to anyone expecting to be able to select wide angle versus a standard view.

Overall, this is a really great little camera as long as you aren't obsessed with branding.  This is every bit as good as a GoPro, with the exception of the Pros and Cons that I stated above.  I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, but it really turned out to be far better than I could have anticipated.

This is a great little camera. Great resolution, more than you need really. AWESOME long zoom in a small package. This camera feels solid in your hands and is really easy to use. Havent used all the features yet but the intelligent auto setting works really really well. There are oodles of scene modes but have not really tested them out.

Photo quality is good but can be a bit overexposed using full auto in full sunlight. Working on the other settings to alleviate this.

Overall a great little camera!

I ended up purchasing this camera for under $2 delivered free via amazon prime through Amazon's warehouse deals site.  Item linked up with several windows 7 machines with no issues.  Needed to adjust a few microphone settings in my control panel, but once adjusted everything worked great.  The suction cup attachment doesn't work too well, but for this camera met my needs.  (deducted 1 start for suction cup deficiency...)

If you are looking for an inexpensive camera to use for Skype (why I made the purchase) then you won't be disappointed.  Tested with 2 different 'skypers' outside of the country, and both could hear me fine and the video quality was acceptable.  C'mon, this camera is almost free!!!

Pretty good little mic for the price. Clear and easy to use. The mini tripod is a little wonky but I ended up getting a suspension boom so no worries.

This microphone works out very well. It's small, lightweight, comes with a wind screen(not shown in the stock photo) and a carrying pouch. It serves two functions, it records two different types of audio channels. It records in 90* and 120* sound settings, and can be set on the back end of the microphone with a small switch for one channel or the other. 90* is set for recording a two way conversation or just focusing in on a particular desired audio recording. 120* is for more ambient recording like a concert, or in the outdoors. With the windscreen on it, it can record much better audio than the stock microphone on some Handycam models. But even with a good Handycam model that has a good microphone, there's a limit to what it can do, so you would need an external microphone for more recording options.

Some users have complained about the size of it sticking out on the camera and may reduce the portability of your Handycam. I could see that, but the microphone is removable and is small enough to be stored in your camera bag, so not really an issue, plus you are not going to have the microphone attached all the time. Overall, the microphone is very sturdy and well constructed for placing on top of your Handycam and doesn't feel at all cheap or like it will break on your camera. It's a solid purchase, and easily the best microphone out Sony's line. Unless you decide to go with a blutooth microphone.

Pretty nice little mic for the money.  Got it so both kids could sing on the kareoke machine.  Highly recommend

I love this microphone. It's cheap but gets the job done for non-professional recording. I do a little homebrew podcast with my friend over Skype, and I wanted something that was better quality than my laptop mic but didn't want to invest in a high-quality podcasting mic for an experiment. This one was definitely the right choice. I definitely notice a difference when editing audio using this mic, and though it definitely isn't as fancy as the pro level mics, for the price, you definitely can't beat it. The usb plugs right into the regular port and it was plug, play, and go.

I thought this mic was great, especially for the price. I bought a USB mic just for talking on Skype after having a lot of problem with extreme static from other plug-in mics, and I haven't had any problems with that from this one so far. The only sort of background sound it has is a faint buzzing, but it's not especially noticeable unless you're specifically listening for it. That may make it not the best choice if you actually need to record something for professional reasons, but if you just need a mic for talking online or recording voice messages, this is a great choice.

Ok, so I was not expecting much out of this camera considering the price tag in all honesty. But after using it for over a week now I am actually quite happy with it. What is not listed in the product description is that it has a built in microphone (I almost bought a seperate one but decided not to for budhet reasons at the time). When i opened up the box ot was a very sharp looking camera with some litle hiles on it, after some research found out that those wwre for the mic. It also works fairly well even with just the monitor for light and no actual overhead lights or desk lamps while still providing a decent picture. Definitely not a high end camera, but what do you expect for the $20 price range. It does exactly what I need it to by acting as a head and face tracker for X-Plane 10. The only thing I could even think would be negative could be the mount. I don't like attaching things to my monitor (which it is made to do) so I have it setting on its mount under my monitor you lose a bit of adjustment vertically doing it that way, but it still works and stands up straight, just gotta play with the cord a bit to keep it from twisting left or right on you. Oh yeah, the cord has a mic adjuster on it as well, so don't hide it too well. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend if you are looking for a camera on a budget or just want a good little all-around camera.

For the value, this is a great  little setup.  The quality is a little blurry since its 960H, but it's sufficient I can monitor the 3 busy sides of my house and the front door.  I already was able to identify one of the women in the neighborhood letting her dog defecate in my yard.  One of the cables had a hell of a trip through some soffits under the roof and through some angles and got slightly damaged so if you wiggle it too much it cuts the signal but stays fine if you adjust it and leave it.  The motion detecting is not super great, but it's adequate.  I leave all my cameras recording at night and motion detect only from 6 am to 9 pm.  For $1800 though you get 4 cameras and almost a week of recording history.  I have the system in my attic with an HDMI and USB extension cable running down to a monitor and the out-of-box mouse in the garage.  Would be nice if I could get a USB keyboard or mouse to work with it, but doesn't seem to produce enough voltage on the USB ports or doesn't have the right drivers to work with aftermarket keyboard/mouse.

I've had this camcorder for a few months, and have used it quite a bit.  The video quality in good lighting is quite good (low light for a camera this price is as expected, aka poor) the audio is mediocre at best, but it does work alright in close proximity to what you are recording.  For someone looking for a small shock proof (can handle a drop from 5' but I wouldn't recommend dropping it on concrete) and waterproof up to 9' (I've had it 5' under water myself without issue) for a low price, I recommend this little camcorder.  Makes for a great packing camera for those who plan to be out in the wilderness and want something they can pull out whether canoeing/boating, fishing, swimming and not worry about getting it wet.

The battery life seems to be pretty decent, (nothing great) I can fill a 16gb microsd card on one charge (which is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of 1080p video)

This little kit is pretty good for the price I paid (bought it when it was an amazon deal!) and comes with more than everything you need to start filming right out of the box. I wanted a small rugged pocket cam that I could take with me anywhere and this fits the bill perfectly. The size is just right for sticking in a purse or clutch without taking up a ton of room. It's really easy to use, and the video quality was surprisingly a lot better than I expected. It's also really rugged and although I don't plan on going for a swim with this cam, I do appreciate that it's waterproof for those occasional rainy days. I've dropped it a few times and it still looks and operates like brand new. I don't believe mine came with a remote as pictured, but for the price and everything that comes with the kit, it's still a great buy. It also has a tripod mount which is such a great detail for such a small consumer cam, although the tripod it comes with is pretty much useless for anything other than a tabletop. The only downside is that although the battery life is decent, the only way to charge this camera is to plug it into a computer, which can be really inconvenient when the battery dies and there is no computer/plug around.
