I got this camera for free through a promotion Verizon was running, but if I was on the market for another tiny video camera this would be the company I would look first. The camera has a built in USB and software, and I can take still shots from the beginning of the video as regular pics. Mine only holds about 30 min of video though, but if you're using it as a regular camera, you can get alot of pics. It also turns its self off after like 3 1/2 min and if you record for a descent number of min. it will stop. It goes though regular batteries really quick, the lithium batteries work best in it. Awesome picture quality Not alot of buttons, really simple to use.
