The little Hitachi digital video camera.......2007-08-10

During the summer of 2007 I checked with a good consumer magazine and saw this camera fairly well recommended. Then I visited this site and read more reviews. After purchasing the camera I have found the reviews I read were very accurate. It is easy to use, a nice size, has great zoom capability and I feel it is worth the price.

One observation I made was the same as what I remember from the review - that is that the microphone is very sensitive. I plan to keep that in mind and use it to our advantage when I video my son playing piano.

Another note is that the still pictures are not that good but since that is not what we bought the camera for that is of little importance.

It has an amazing zoom lens! The down side of that is when zoomed in on a subject it is very difficult to hold the camera steady.
I've noted that the auto-focus is quite sensitive as well and changes the focus if any little thing comes into the picture.
To that end I highly recommend using a tripod while videoing important things. If you don't have a tripod available then try to find a fence post, bench back, car hood, anything that is stable to rest the camera on.

I am looking forward to using the camera for videos for years to come!

Great video quality - a few important design flaws........2007-07-02

We're very happy with the video quality of this camcorder. However, there are a couple of rather large design flaws:
1. There is no auto shut off when the camera is powered on but not in use. To make matters worse, the power button is easily turned on accidentally. Consequently, we very often excitedly reach for our recorder only to find that the battery is dead. This happens so much that we've taken to removing the battery when the camera isn't in use.
2. Ok - I can't be the only person who forgets to remove the lens cap. How hard would it be to prevent recording until the lens cap is removed? As it is, I've got quite a few minutes of "black cats at midnight" footage.
3. Power is required to eject the DVD. So, when your battery is dead because the poorly designed power button turned on an drained it, not only can you no longer record video, you can't even watch what you have already recorded!

Trouble, Trouble, Trouble..........2007-06-06

I bought this camera after doing some online research. The price was attractive for the features offered, and online reviews consistently mentioned the camcorder's superior picture quality. The first DV-R I recorded looked great, but a distracting hum became apparent halfway through the disc. I called Hitachi's customer service line, and they asked which brand of disc I used. When I mentioned Sony, I was told to try Maxell, the brand Hitachi recommends. I was also told the Sony disc might have been defective. I bought Maxell discs and went back to record again. This time, the hum was worse. It wasn't consistent, but intermittent. A second call to Hitachi was made. I was now told to bring it in for servicing, even though the camera was brand new. I complied. You guessed it. After getting the camera back from the authorized repair shop, the hum was still there. A third call to Hitachi was made. I was told to return the camera to the repair shop so they could correct the problem. The repair shop isn't exactly down the block, so bringing the camera back, and then picking it up again would have consumed time, expense, and aggravation. At this point, I had lost complete faith in both the camcorder, Hitachi's customer service, and their authorized repair shop. Please.... STEER CLEAR OF THIS CAMCORDER. Though picture quality is fine, you will be driven crazy by horrible noise on your recordings. Based on my experience with this awful camera and Hitachi's customer service, I will NEVER purchase one of their produicts again.

Please (I am asking nicely) Do not buy! Do not buy! Do not buy!.......2007-05-05

Do not buy unless you want to waste time recording and then lose everything you record.
I have lost my daughters birthday party, a trip to a fair and some other priceless moments, because of disc errors. Halfway through recording I get messages saying the disc is corrupt and needs to format. Meaning 'erase everything that I have filmed up to that point". This has happened multiple times. In fact i have yet to make it through the finalizing process on a single CD. The last straw was a trip to Thailand and cambodia. I carried the camera with me everywhere and filmed everything, again getting multiple error messages. When I did finally get through 1 entire CD of filming without getting an error, only to get home and lose everything. I tried to finalize the CD. It got to a minute left of finalizing and came up with a different error message but of course it wanted to format to solve the problem. The whole solution to any problem on this camera is to format. Again, this erases everything. I have wasted 30-40 hours of taping without a single bit of footage. I am back to mini dv. dont buy! Trust me the first time you lose a priceless moments you will be sick to your stomach.

WOW! what a picture.......1999-12-28

I got this as a gift and I have to say that it is amazing. I didn't even really need to look at the directions, VERY EASY! This camera ia very light, and compact and can fit into also anything, even a small tiny purse! It figures 6 different flash types so you can cut out on "devil eyes" and lack of background in the night shots. Very nice! And if you take pictures like me and have your fingers in front of the lens, there's almost no way to do this with this camera. Another plus in my book!

This camera is great!

Amazon.com Review

Polaroid's i-zone pocket cameras produce tiny, high-quality Polaroid pictures about the size of a frame of 35mm film (or your average postage stamp). The i-zones use either sticky or nonsticky instant film, so you can put your pictures in a frame or stick them onto your notebook or portable CD/MP3 player. While the cameras all have the same funky oblong plastic design, they are available in a variety of interesting color schemes. The camera turns itself off automatically after each shot to conserve battery power.

Loading the camera is as easy as dropping the film cartridge into the back of the camera and closing it back up. The trickiest part is remembering to pull the film tab out in one fluid motion, without stopping--exactly like most other Polaroids. When you expose a shot and pull out the film, you get something that looks like a Band-Aid, with an image in the middle and extra paper on both ends. Just clip the extra paper off with a pair of scissors and you have your final product. Be careful not to cut into the actual photo, as you don't want to give the caustic paste inside a chance to seep out and get on your fingers.

There are three exposure settings on the i-zone--indoors (with flash), outdoor/sunny, and outdoor/cloudy. Overall, the camera is probably best for subjects within two to eight feet, although we took pictures of downtown buildings that turned out pretty well. The outdoor/sunny setting requires bright sun directly on the subject for a good exposure. Even if it isn't cloudy, try using the outdoor/cloudy setting if the subject is in shadow or if it is early or late in the day when the sunlight isn't at full strength. The flash seems to work best from about four to five feet away.

The best part is figuring out what to do with the mini photos once you've created them. The options seem to be limitless, from decorating cell phones to using them as key chains, putting them in mini frames, or making refrigerator magnets. These cameras are affordable, simple to use, and a lot of fun. --Walt Opie

Amazon.com Product Description

Polaroid's new i-zone instant pocket camera is the latest "go-everywhere, must-have item," and it comes in "icicle blue." It produces postage-stamp-sized photographs, available with either a sticky or nonsticky backing, and offers a selectable built-in flash that automatically shuts off after each shot to conserve batteries. The picture quality is one of Polaroid's best, producing vivid colors and surprisingly excellent detail for such a small image. Loading the Polaroid i-zone is simple, and using it is even simpler. There is no need to focus, the built-in flash fires automatically, and the camera is small enough to slip into a purse or the small pocket on a backpack. The pocket camera is not just about taking pictures--it's also about what you decide to do with them.

No Longer In Production.......2007-07-16

Shipper was great to work with and quickly refunded my money, but you can't buy film for this anywhere anymore, as it is not being made any longer!

Love it..........2002-07-09

I bought this camera to take pics of my wedding guests for my guest book....I love it! The film is a little pricey, but that's the cost on instant gratification I suppose. The sticky stuff is nice, not sticky enough to ruin anything, but will stay on a computer monitor, magnet, or in a book.

Great Camera.......2002-03-11

I just received my camera today, and I already love it. I have taken four pictures, and have tried not to take anymore, because I want my film to last. The pictures turned out remarkably good for such a small camera. Pretty much, this camera is all around adequate, except for a few flaws. The first flaw is that the instruction booklet is very confusing, because it only uses pictures, and there is a release button on the side of the camera, and if anything hits it, it will open up exposing the film. This is hardly a problem; you just have to be careful with it. I recommend this camera to anyone, including people who aren't even interested in photography.

Really great camera, but the film is kinda pricy.......2001-11-28

This is a really durable camera. i've dropped it about a billion times, and it still works as well as ever! The focus isn't all that great, and the pix aren't SUPER high quality, but considering the price... but the pix are absolutely adorable. the size is so cute. i definitely recommend this camera!

Customer Reviews:

Didn't Last 3 Months - No Customer Service.......2005-02-17

The phone quit working in just over two months. Repeated calls to the customer service phone number would automatically put me on hold for a long while and then tell me to call back later.

Poor performance and customer service.......2005-02-05

Purchased a similar model NWB Excursion phone. Performance was poor from the start. Battery died incredibly quickly after charge. The real killer was customer service. When the phone stopped working entirely after a few weeks, I tried literally dozens of times to get through to customer service via the 800 number, which is actually on a big sticker on the base. They NEVER pick up - you're on hold several minutes, and then told to call back or leave a message. If you leave a message, it's not returned. Emails to their customer service were also ignored.

Avoid this phone.......2003-12-23

I got this phone free after rebate. That said, this phone wasn't worth the price to me. It has one very bad feature that overrides all of its other features: when the battery is low it will beep until you place it in the cradle. As fate would have it, it usually beeps in the middle of the night. I guess if you are the type of person who keeps the phone in the cradle at all times, you would find this phone satisfactory. I don't. One other thing, even with the ringer off, the phone needs recharging about every five days. Compared to my 10-15 year old Panasonic phone which needs charging about once every three weeks, this phone isn't very good.
