DOA. Wouldn't turn on, then after installing, removing and reinstalling the batteries, which i checked to be sure they were good, even though they were fresh out of a new package, I got the thing to power on. I turned it off, and it wouldn't turn on again. And yes i held the power button down at least 3 seconds. I returned it for a refund. I had high hopes given the majority of the reviews were good, but it failed right or off the package.

Pros: Seems to be good quality. Very solid feel. With batteries it's just the right amount of weight, in my opinion. Infrared night vision seems to work well. Cons: No internal storage, so you have to use a card to record/save anything - not a huge deal. Controls are slightly confusing at first because there are only three buttons on top and three on the sides. So for example, one button doubles as IR on and Zoom +, the button next to it doubles as IR off and Zoom -. Simply pressing and releasing one of them will do IR on/off, but if you want to adjust zoom you have to hold it until the zoom starts changing. This scheme makes sense when these particular functions are combined, but it might throw you off a little. I think having two more buttons to separate out IR on/off and have the zoom function respond immediately would be good. It's pretty small, though, so maybe it was just too difficult to add two more buttons. On that note, because of its size the hand strap is very small. I have big hands, so I can only get three fingers through the loop. It works fine, but having one finger out of the loop is a little awkward - if you have small hands you might not think it's overly small. No charging, because it uses regular old school batteries, so you'll have to keep buying more batteries. In my case I need excuses to keep batteries around and occasionally buy more because some other stuff I have needs them, so it's fine for me, but I can see this being an issue for most people.
