Emerson HD 720p Camcorder

What can I say? This happens to be one of the best small camcorders the family has bought yet, especially my mom. Yes, it's hers, but I just like to use it with all my play time recording. Can you blame me? Anyone who has one may tell you, in their own opinion that may differ from mine, that it is a nifty little thing to keep about your person. And all around great product. It's compact to slip in a pocket or bag, yet it's large enough to still be able to use without the magnifying glass. We've seen some of these devices, haven't we? You know the ones made particularly for Polly Pocket? Yeah, this isn't one of them, yet it is still conveniently compact to travel with. The battery life is excellent. One charge can get me about a week and a half record time, depending how much I use it within that week and for how long. The 2.0 inch color screen is a great feature to have on any recorder/camera. Yet, the only draw back so far to this camera is, if you do not have the right amount of light, the camera will pick up your setting with a very 'red' color, making it look like you are shooting in a red room for developing film than in a, let's say, living room.

The features are awesome such as the pop up USB port from the top. This is so you are able to plug the camera in to your computer if you are not using a memory card. The hard memory, that is, the memory already programed to the device itself, is completely limited. You are lucky to get three pictures and a half a movie, still not bad. So I advise to start shooting with a memory card. Many of them are really cheap nowadays and can be found online or in brick and mortar stores like Wal-Mart. With a slid of the slider button on the side of the camera the USB port pops up and you are ready to start downloading, as long as you have downloaded the software to your PC. With a power button on the other side, an AV port along with HDMI, so you can plug the device to your T.V., are all in view and easy to find. A nice large slot for standard 4 to 8 GB memory cards brings the usage of this camera to convenience; there is nothing you won't be able to do with this camera. My favorite feature is the LED light on the front of the face near the lens. It is a great feature to have when you are taking pictures or shooting close up or in small areas, and it works great at night too. But you'll never be able to shoot a whole professional major motion picture with this thing, unless, you are a great pioneer of film and cinematography, then who knows. With a bottom port for a tripod you are all set to get out there and start living your life in pictures and video. All the function buttons are on the back with the screen, and the buttons have a few multiple functions still easy to understand and use. Comes with charging cable, battery and understandable usage/owner's manual to get you up and running with your new toy, uh, I mean, camera in no time.

It is light weight yet heavy duty enough to withstand minor drops and hold up to all the traveling you may want to do with this camera. They come in a few selections of colors from black and white to blue, pink and even purple, we have purple.

So enjoy your camera and live life alive.

UPDATE: After I noticed a few views on this post, I got the idea that instead of just showing you one pic of the camera itself, why don't I show you a few pictures I took with this camera? That way you get a getter feel of the product and see for yourself what it can do. I will also post a video too. Sorry, all pictures that are not to personal enough for me to post is of one of my five cats, Cali. But you all are suppose to be looking for quality of the video and picture taking, so don't let the cat get in your way. LOL!  The photos below are of that cat I was talking about earlier; this is how the camera takes pictures in good lit areas. And yes, I was messing with the zoom on a pic or two.  (Unfortunately, I was not able to post the videos. They are AVI files and blogger's server rejected them.)

The next picture was taken in poor lighting (indoor). This is the reddened quality that happens I was talking about earlier also. This is George, one of five cats, and he is very tired, but the quality of the pic is to be desired, yet still not bad.
