DXG-567V gets another poor rating


Macworld editor Christopher Breen reviewed the DXG-567V and said:
Pocket camcorders have made shooting high-definition video affordable for just about everyone. Of course, there are compromises. [...] no image stabilization or optical zoom and their performance in all lighting environments is hardly perfect. Still, these cameras produce a decent picture under typical outdoor lighting conditions.

The same can not be said, however, for today’s least-expensive HD pocket camcorder, DXG’s DXG-567V. This pocket camcorder, which retails for around $100, is pretty awful. Before I describe the depths of its awfulness, here are its specs.

Like the Kodak Zi6 and Flip Ultra, it runs off two AA batteries, which is convenient if you’re out and about and the camera runs out of juice. And, like the Zi6, it stores its video on an SD card. Again, another convenience as you’re not limited to an hour’s worth of shooting as you are with the Flip and Creative cameras. The DXG camcorder is about the same size as the Kodak camcorder, meaning that it’s bulkier than the Flip or Vado. It also uses the same kind of joystick control found on the Zi6.

Even at a hundred dollars, the DXG-567V HD camcorder is no bargain.

  1. This review is terrible. Unless you review it as a cheap camera with expectations of a cheap camera then don't call a paragraph a review.

    I myself have been using this camera for several days now and for the price it was well worth it. You get what you pay for, nothing less nothing more. This is a good deal, you just have been using your Sony HD for too long is all.
