Honestly? It's a cheap, crappy toy. And I'll tell you why...

It says it has 3MP (for images)...however, it uses interpolation (software to increase the MP). So, it doesn't REALLY have 3MP and probably has closer to only 1MP. Interpolation, btw, is not good at all, because it decreases image quality.

It's video resolution is limited to a crappy 640x480 or 320x240. Full HD is 1920x1080 and HD quality is 1280x720....so I'll let you work out whether it's high enough quality for you.

It has no optical zoom...only lousy digital zoom

It has a teeny tiny 1.5" LCD screen, no doubt ultra low res.

It uses crappy, AAA batteries for power!

It has a very slow USB 1.0 connection.

And...................it costs only $26.95!!!!! So, it's a toy. The sort of toy you'd give to a kid to play with.

So, good luck...How good is this camera?
3 megapixels is actually quite a lot for a video camera. It's more than you need for even HD. However that camera appears to be the same thing as the Jazz HD camera they are selling at Walmart for $30 new. They sell these under several different off brands and they are good enough for most consumer purposes for the price. But it's kind of stupid to record stuff off your tv with a camera and it's not going to look very good. If you have one of those tvs that aren't flat screened it will have lines moving up and down it when you record it with a video camera.How good is this camera?
C'mon dude.. You know damn well this thing is going to be a piece of crap for $26.00. You'll have to buy a SD memory card too. If you'll look on craigslist you'll be able to buy a nice quality USED video camera for not much more. The one you're looking at will be lucky to even work when you get it.

Here's one in the USA. For less money, and it will not take a month to get it from HongKong

Total, absolute JUNK. You would be better off just flushing your money down the toilet. Any "camera" or "camcorder" that has "interpolated" anywhere in the description is $%#^%26amp;*# JUNK.
