Vivitar DVR7300X 7MP CCD, 3x Optical Zoom Digital Camcorder

This looks like a nice video camera. Don't judge a book by the cover. I have made several movies with this camera & none of the sound came out even loud enough 2 hear when the movie is played back, 2 top it off, the movie format it produces movies in is AVI format, & microsoft media will not even play it. you have 2 go thru a video format transformer 2 get a video clip 2 be playable on your new windows player. The sound is the big killer....i have no idea if it is the microphone is so small or what, but I have another video camera by AIPTEK that is same size & the sound & video work great on it, plus the movies made by the AIPTEK can be played by microsoft player & also are directly importable 2 my Adobe Premier video software, whereas the movie clips from the Vivatar will NOT IMPORT into the Adobe Premiere Video editor at all! I would have hoped the brand name of Vivatar would make a better camera than this. don't waste your money on this dog.

I really like this camera/camcorder. Great resolution, Good Price, Easy 2 use. The only shortcoming of this camera is the LED flash. Its a little weak & only works well when in close proximity 2 the subject.
