3 out of 5 stars Acceptable considering the price   October 18, 2009
Jessica (Florida)
All I needed in a camcorder is the ability to take a basic short video, and for that it works well. The focus is soft, and there is a lot of visual noise. This would be a great camcorder for kids as its small and easy to use, and anyone who is on a tight budget.

I BOUGHT THIS ONE FOR MYSELF AFTER I BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR CHRISTMAS. I CAN'T EVEN GIVE THIS AWAY! THE PICTURE IS SO GRAINY. IS IT SOMETHING I'M DOING WRONG, SINCE IT'S BRAND NEW?


3 out of 5 stars A Good Value, But Know What You Are Getting - Jazz DV151   December 29, 2008

We found the "Jazz DV151" pocket camcorder at one of the big box stores for somewhat less than the current retail price on Amazon. At roughly 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (White), it seemed to be worth the risk of buying it as a backup pocket camcorder. Here are my observations:

Pros:
* Acceptable video quality *FOR THE PRICE* - it is only 320x240, not even VGA (the Flip wins hands down)
* Very good microphone - this was real surprise, the microphone is more sensitive than the Flip
* Has built in USB connector - Like the Flip, but only USB 1.1
* Comes with a USB extension cable!
* Works as a SD card reader when connected to PC via USB (see above)
* Has Video Out - can be connected to a TV for playback, cables included
* 1.5" LCD screen can rotate for convenient viewing while self recording (the Flip cannot)
* Saves files in AVI format - No conversion needed

Cons:
* Low video quality - it is 320x240 (but again good for the price)
* Does not come with any memory - You must buy a SD card (up to 2GB) before using

Misc:
* Uses 2 AA batteries (not included)

So for a really inexpensive camcorder, with YouTube usable quality, this is a fairly good option. For use in any meaningful way, not so much.
