POV AGC20-4CA Camo CMOS Digital Camcorder

Pros: Flims Video

Cons: Very Poor image quality!! The recorded video has a green line going down the left side of the video frame. Also the date stamp cannot be removed. Bought these to take hunting and fishing but every video sucks.

Pros: Works right out of the box as long as you follow the instructions from the manual. Was able to adjust the date and time easily. Not sure why others seem to have issues with that. Editing *.txt file is not THAT difficult.

Cons: Only has 640X480 resolution and not the 736X480 as advertised. No back-light.

Other Thoughts: If only this would come with some sort of back light feature, then it would be nice. Otherwise, make sure you have plenty of light when recording video.

Pros: Nice camo finish. Very good to excellent polarized lens. Not to heavy or bulky.

Cons: DOA. Plugged unit in, all the lights suggested it was charging (sans the pulsing blue light). Followed instructions to the tee. Even tried to use USB connected to my PC and still a no go. Tried to fire up unit after 12 hrs of charging. Nothing. Zero activity. Nada.

Directions are terrible. Obviously translated from Chinese. Broken English makes for a bad user manual. Another set of instructions were so small (and the English even more fragmented). I had to use a magnifying glass to read.

Other Thoughts: It appears to me the unit has no camera in it. I don't know why, but I suspect this to be true. Just a USB port and a battery. The reason I suspect this because there is just hole where the "reset button" is supposed to be. Put a paper clip in to reset the unit. And, it goes straight to back of the housing. No button. And, the unit sounds hollow when tapped. I can't verify this without destroying the unit.

Sent back for RMA

Pros: small, lightweight, easy to use, OK quality

Cons: HOW DO I CHANGE THE TIME STAMP... IT IS NOT 1956 folks! (in before 88 miles per hour and 1.2 giggawats) Really there needs to be some kind of software to access the camera, firmware etc.

Pros: Surprisingly good video and audio quality. It actually self adjusts for lighting levels. Press the record button, and you've got a Youtube video ready to upload via usb.

Unfortunately, now it's getting twitchy though (on day 2!) and only powering up when it wants to. Cool toy, when it's working.

Cons: I knocked off two eggs, because I'm fairly certain this will break down soon.

Other Thoughts: Honestly, if this thing keeps working, I will re-review and add two eggs.
