Product Review:
I have had problems with this camera. It gets its job done most of the time, but my audio speakers for playback have stopped working. This happened shortly after I purchased my first one so I took it back and then it happened again to the second one after a short period of time. Also, the color night mode makes for a VERY blurry picture. You have light streams whenever you move the camera which can almost make you sick when you are trying to watch it back. Overall, the camera records and plays, but I am NOT 100% satisfied!
