Good for the price but no flash....Friday, April 01, 2005
Here are the pros and cons of this digital camera:
Pros:
*Low price
*Multifunctional (MP3, video, pictures, sound recorder)
*Works good with sunlight on outdoor enviroments
*Videos are also really good if taken on outdoor enviroments
*Has an MP3 player so you can play your favorite music
*Can connect to your TV to play the videos or pictures
*Somewhat easy to use
Cons:
*NO FLASH!
*Completely useless indoors if room is not well lit or during the night
*Only comes with a 32Mb memory... enough for 54 pictures at max resolution or about 6 min of video
*If using as an MP3 player or if you plan on taking a lot of videos you should consider getting a larger memory (at least 256Mb)
*Picture quality is not bad... but worse than most high quality digital cameras
I would give it 4 stars if it had a flash... but since it doesn't I give it 3 stars! My conclusion... If you are not an MP3 fan or if you plan on taking lots of pics by night, consider spending a bit more and get another cam that has a flash and offers a higher resolution. If you are short on cash and don't plan on taking a lot of pictures by night then consider getting this cam.

Excellent Camera, for the priceThursday, March 17, 2005
I purchased this camera about two weeks ago and for the price, it's perfect. The pictures come out great with outdoor pictures, but indoor photos can be a little pixilated. The list of features on it is quite impessive for the size and price. With MPEG4 encoding and mp3 player built in, and four picture modes in an easy to use menu. Excellent camera overall for the price.

HAD TROUBLE FIGURING OUT HOW TO EXACTLY USE THIS CAMERA. PICTURES LOOK ROUGH... IT DOES NOT HAVE A LIGHT WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T TAPE IN THE DIMMED ROOM. SMALL AND CUTE BUT WORTHLESS..IT ALSO FADES IN GREEN AND RED BLER AT TIME BUT WORKS GREAT OUTSIDE.

Audiovox DC400 A decent camera for the priceSaturday, October 16, 2004
I purchased the Dc400 for $140 on JandR.com. I've had the camera for about 2 weeks and I must admit for the low price it offers much. The buttons and menu controls are extremely user friendly, I barely glanced at the manual. Digital stills are fine, decent quality what you would expect from any 2.0 digital camera. The videos are perfect for web quality especially in a small view, full screen was a little choppy. The 4x digital zoom(not opticle)is as good as any other camera I've seen,the zoom button is on a nifty spot right at the tip of your index finger. The rechargable battery seems to work for over an hour and charges pretty quickly too. It fits easily in jeans pocket. Now the bad news. It only comes with a 32mb SD card, you can purchase a Sandisk 512MB SD on clearance now for around $50. The video editing software it comes with crashes, it was completely useless to me. Stick with Microsoft Movie Maker 2 for this one or another video editor of your choice. The photo programs are cool including a 360 degree and ultra zoom functions. Remember as soon as you plug the DC400 into USB port you can easily download all pics and videos from unit it acts like a mass storage drive in explorer. The microphone is placed in a bad spot must be careful not to cover with finger. The LCD screen does not swivel up or down. This unit is good for movies on the go but if you need to record video from VHS or DVD take a look at the Panasonic D-snap series. The Dc400 has a night view function but you will need good light to get a shot, outside is perfect in daytime, a well lit room, a well lit street at night with lots of stores and lamppost, remember all SD video camera's have poor to moderate night filming. Another function I found very cool is that you can film video or stills in black and white. I have not used it as a MP3 Player yet but the head phones it came with are mono so I'm not expecting it to be loud or great.
