There is a coupon for $100 off right now, so it would make it $129.99 for an HD quality pocket video cam.

I was going to start filming some of my brother's calves this summer for his private treaty sale.  I like how small it is and just being able to have it in the truck or a pocket.



There is videos of its hd quality on youtube and it looks amazing.

anyone?

I just tried to buy it but the coupon code doesn't work.  It says it does not exist.  Tell me what you think of this gadget.  Is is worth the price?  Will it work?  Or is it junk?

Well, the amazon reviews are good, and the youtube videos in hd are outstanding

I was looking at some confirmation also as I have never really studied these mini hd video cameras

Jason  a close friend and I were discussing this camera,  can you get good quality videos with a small handheld like this or do you need to use a tri-pod when filming cattle?

Thanks,

Tony

From the videos on youtube, they look pretty good and you can tell most of the people are holding them.

I should have bought it earlier.

I know hd videos will be extremely large, but you can also use them for burning playable dvd discs or this camera would plug directly into your hi def tv with hdmi.

One thing to keep in mind that HD takes up twice as much computer space, time to download, render all that stuff. Obviously with this camera you wouldn't be able to attach a tripod, but you would be surprised that a lot small cameras and be fitted with an attachment so they can screw onto a tripod.

I always wonder with small cameras like that is the zoom is very good one them?

I got plenty of space on my computer, 2 tb, but webspace would be the issue.  Also they would be a bear to upload, our internet provider allocates something like 284 kbps on the upload compared to 3 mb down.

The other issue for users watching the video is your processor.  I have a computer up front that it is running just pentium 3 with a clock speed of around 900 mhz and it just skips like crazy and maxes out cpu usage when watching hd content.  But, I have no problem with a quad core, w/ 4gb ram, on the same internet connection.

I know there are a lot of hd videos showing up on youtube, I can defintely see it being the future as we get faster connections.
