| lorjones's Full Review: Sharp Viewcam VL-A10U 8mm Analog Camcorder |
This camera is definitely worth getting to know. It's easy to use if you just want to record what's going on. However, it has some really neat features like a sports background, or party background to really spice up those already special occasions. The menu options take a little while to go through and figure out what each one does, but it's well worth your time to learn all about these features. With the camera's 16x zoom, it allows you to get really close even when you're sitting in the middle of the auditorium and your child is on center stage.
I think perhaps the best feature is the screen. It's not a flip screen that could "come off". You can see what you're recording clearly and you don't miss what else is going on around you (while you're peering through the sites on other cameras).
I purchased this particular camera because two other family members already had it and loved it. However, both have since had problems with the volume not working. So be careful with the volume control.
