Rating: - Awesome!!
This video camera is one of the best I've ever had buy it!! (note) it is better to buy it used, great condition, and less money, always. i bought used, but i couldn't even tell the difference from a knew one.
I love this video camera my last camera cost 1000 and I used it very little this camera is so simple to use and so small that I use it all the time I don't even have to think about charging the battery It uses 2AA batteries that can be replaced in a few seconds and last for about 2 hrs the one hour of filming is plenty for my needs video quality is excellent I like it so much I bought 2 more for gifts

Bought this from Amazon in March 2008, used it very lightly until summer 2008, put it in storage until December 2008. When taken out of storage it no longer would power on. Pure Digital said they only warranty for 90 days. Steer clear of this camera, just lightweight junk.

I have owned 2-3 video cameras in my life---from old school vhs to the sony one that records on dvd. Too many wires and or other drama to download the video--NOT enough patience. To top it off, if I am going t spend time shooting anything, I prefer my Nikon DSRL. Basically I like photography best.
However, I saw this product and some things about it got me intrigued: 1) I liked the design style, compactness (just regular old batteries too) and especially the built in usb for connection. 2) Living in a modern world demands owning a video camera too. You never know when you will be unlawfully pulled over or want to shoot footage for TMZ (smile). I wanted a quick way to capture video when a photograph just wont due
Over thanksgiving I filmed my Mom and Pop as they talked about how they met, their kids etc. Camera $150 (very reasonable); DOWNLOAD FOR DUMMIES (very easy and fast); video footage of Mom and Dad---PRICELESS
All thumbs up from me so far. So, go ahead and treat yourself!

After less than a week, the lens on the camera shattered. Customer service they didn't cover that and our only option was to buy new.
