    (4 out of 5 stars) Great little camera you will use

    This camera is small enough to easily fit into your jacket pocket. The automatic lens cover means not having to worry about the lens, nor any extra pieces to carry around and keep track of. The long battery time, large capacity of a SD card and small size adds up to a very convenient camera to keep with you translating into a greater likelihood of actually having the…

    		 (2 of 5 stars) Falls frustratingly short for a Canon product

    Canon seems to have taken a step down from the comparatively-excellent FS200 with a range of features that fall short in so many areas. As others have mentioned, the software included is practically useless, but more importantly the video quality just isn’t there. There are major compression artifacts that appear whenever there’s significant movement or any zooming used,…

    (5 out of 5 stars) BEST FOR MILITARY/TACTICAL USE

    I want to first start by saying I have them all, the GoPro the Contour HD and the Contour Roam. I am stationed in remote Afghanistan and go out on foot patrols frequently. The other cameras require FAR too much prep time to be tactically practical. This one is amazing because it is one switch and done (ON)!! I keep it mounted with the adhesive mount to my Kevlar and it…

    		 (3 of 5 stars) Don’t believe the marketing hype…

    I’ve only used the camera a couple of times so far… the first of which was during a consistent light rain while mountain biking out on the trails here in the Pacific Northwest. In the product description you’ll find a whole paragraph describing how this unit is “super tough” and how the “ContourROAM is made to withstand encounters with everything from eating mud…

    (5 out of 5 stars) Great Pocket Video Recorder

    (5 out of 5 stars) Great quality video but focus lags

    I’ve had this camera for about a week now and have been loving it ever since. I’ve used another “flip” camcorder and the Bloggie Touch puts it to shame.

    Pros:
    1. Love the quick on and record. Great for spontaneous videos of the little one.
    2. The touch screen interface makes it both useful and fun to use the big screen.
    3. The still…

    		 (2 of 5 stars) Terrible focus

    I wanted to like this camera, but it’s been a complete disappointment. First and foremost, the automatic focusing is terrible. The image is often out of focus, and there’s no way to tell the camera to try focusing again. (Why not add this and handle it like the iphone does? Just touch on the subject you want in focus.) Most portable video cameras like this (e.g. flip and…

    (4 out of 5 stars) Good camera overall, a bit grainy when shooting indoors

    The Kodak PlaySport Zx3 (the older model) was a pretty good camcorder (better than most in this category), so I was thrilled when I found out there was a new model coming out. However, Kodak made some changes that I was really disappointed about:

    		 (2 of 5 stars) Just OK, not great, but worth it for the price

    I don’t know why people would give anything higher than two stars. This camera is OK at best.

    I’ll start with the bad:

    1) Low light shows the weakness in the ccd. Tons of noise in the dark areas, just total chaos. Especially if you move around (Like at a club or party). Even in the daylight technicolor noise can be seen in mid-tones and shadows…
