Advantages: Compact, Multi-functional, Cheap

Disadvantages: Poor quality pictures, No battery pack it takes 2xAA or is powered by the USB interface, Inaccurate viewfinder

The camera is great value the Pocket DV I supports functionailty to act as a digital camera, video camera, voice recorder and webcam! The value camera provides great results as a web camera, however the digitial camera/video camera produce less pleasing results.

However taking the price into account the results are good value and this camera would be great for someone wanting to do a few short home movies and take the occasional quick snap. Thinking about it, the camera would be great for accident investigators or people who require a video camera in a compact package.

The camera certainly is small, weighing about the same as a moden mobile phone and fitting in the palm of your hand it could help a budding director investigate some unusual shots with artistic flair.

The only reason i wouldnt buy this product myself (it was a present) is because Aiptek released the Pocket DV II which has a foldout LCD screen, better resolution and more memory. I cant review that till I have seen it, but again its very competitive on price and they're bound to sell. As a bonus however many stores have discounted the Pocket DV I to clear (about £20) so they're a snap up if you can find any left on the shelves.
