Pure Digital PSV-351 30 Minute Point-and-Shoot Camcorder |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: 30 minutes is longer than I thought
Comments: I was surprised at how far this technology has come. This camera is perfect. It's compact, easy to use, and the quality of video is excellent. I am an avid video recorder, and did not think 30 minutes of recording would be long enough!! You will be surprised at how long 30 minutes lasts in short 2-3 minute recordings. |

Summary: Great for beginning videographers
Comments: I purchased this item for my son on his 11th birthday. He and his friends are always running around making "commercials" or skits. This is easy to use and portable. We take it with us on vacations, it's light and there is no need for cables, tapes, or discs!! The only "negative" is the record time. Thirty minutes is not always long enough, and if you do not have your computer around, you are stuck either deleting clips or not recording anything new. Also, you need to replace the batteries. It would be nice if it were rechargable. |

Summary: Pure Digital PSV-351 30 Min. Point-n-Shoot Camcorder..
Comments: Pure Digital PSV-351 30 Minute Point-and-Shoot Camcorder
This is a great stow and go camcorder. I purchased this for my husband when we went to Europe. Point and Shoot video and then upload it into the computer and save it or make a video. This camera would be a great graduation gift for any aspiring photographer or for someone learning about video. |

Summary: useful, exceptional quality for [...]
Comments: I just got this exact product for $13 from BIG LOTS. It's well worth the money. I may purchase a couple more. It's tiring to haul out my DVX100 + tape + battery pack whenever I need a quick vdeo reference or moving texture for animation. This tiny camera, with acceptable video quality, is perfect for that. Low light performance is much better than I expected. I do not have to worry about dropping it or losing it - [...]!! File transfer is quick and easy via USB. The video files are 640 X 480 XVID AVIs. I convert them into MPEG2 files with SUPER (a free program, from:[...] for loading into other video programs for rotoscoping and etc.
This is not a videophile product, though. Its low price (did I mention it cost [...]) has much to do with my positive impression. The video is solid, great for reference, however not pretty. There are obvious compression artifacts. The digital zoom is pixellated. Sound is bad with lots of hiss. It sucks AA batteries dry in a hurry, so use rechargeables. If you want great-looking home movies, spend at least a couple hundred bucks for a better camera. If you want a throwaway video toy to keep handy in case a UFO crashes while you are out jogging, this camera is perfect. |

Summary: If it did not have a virus it would rate a 5
Comments: The camera seems to work as advertised. For the price, the picture quality is excellent. Autofocus and brightness auto-adjustment does an excellent job. The only problem I had with it was that the program that it had installed on its internal memory which was supposed to let me view my videos on a computer contained a virus and the Puredigital technologies website (not to be confused with a similar1for PureDigital of the UK which seems to apply only to small radios) was pretty useless in getting me a replacement for that program. There is no mention of the PSV-351 anywhere on their website that I could find. I still haven't located a replacement and the 888 tech support number only works from US locations. |
