 Nice intro to video June 19, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
When I read a review of this little gem in MacLife, it seemed too good to be true. A very low cost HD video camera. Well, I took a chance and bought it, knowing nothing about video cameras.
It doesn't have a lot of features, but then my phone and calculator confuse me enough, nevermind my camera. I just got back from a vacation and found that it works great. Nice video quality. Sounds not the best, but you aren't paying for that. an inexpensive digital voice recorder was recommended in the MacLife review to improve this.
For a beginner like me, it's an absolutely priceless introduction that you don't mind experimenting with. If you are looking for a camera to last the rest of your life and you know exactly what you want out of the camera, then this isn't for you. Unless high quality video recording at a low cost is all you are looking for.
For those of us interested in finding out about video recording, then it's an excellent value as a learning tool and if you want to go on, you will have a much better understanding of what is possible.
 Good but falls a bit short July 24, 2008
For the money this is an increadable camera. My only complaint is the zoom or should I say lack of zoom.. A 2x zoom doesn't cut it. If you don't need the zoom you can't go wrong with this camera.
Not bad if you don't have a camcorder already August 8, 2008
I thought I was getting a great deal. And I did, at $150 or so for an HD camcorder. And man, this thing is small. This DXG 566 takes decent video and I really like that it is at a high resolution. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it's good. To test it out, I went to a race at NJ Motorsports Park. I stood in the grass about 40 yards from the cars and it went well. You can actually see the car numbers clearly (not bad for having no REAL zoom). I think something must have broken, though, because I can't playback video or pictures on the camera. It's odd because I took great care of it, too.
Pros:
High resolution
Very affordable
Compact
Cons:
Moderate quality for HD
My on-board playback button is useless
Only 2x digital zoom
