This is a good-looking unit and the videos it takes are just fine. One issue however, is that the advertised still photo resolution of 8 MP is FALSE. With just one button for operation, you start the video recording, and then when you want to take a still photo you press the button briefly while the video is recording. The videos go to one folder (MOVIE) and the still photos to another (PHOTO). The still photos however are stored at the same resolution as the video — 1920×1080 — which is 2 MP, not 8 MP. With resolution like that, why have a still photo capture feature at all? Just extract frames from the video feed.
I am satisfied with these for video capture but grossly discouraged about the false, advertised spec for still photos.
