Pure Digital saw a gap in the camcorder market and filled it. The story of its success is no more or less complex than that. It saw two important trends: online video is becoming more prevalent; and devices capable of recording video can be manufactured in a cheap, compact form. Despite these trends, attention was being focused on the cutting edge of video technology, which is expensive and complicated. So why not strip away all the complications – all the special features and buttons and gimmicks – and make a cheap, simple, no-frills recording device that’s essentially plug-and-play with YouTube?

I love that it uses AA batteries. I find it much more convenient to replace batteries when your out and about than to find something with a USB port and wait an hour for the thing to recharge. It may make it a tiny bit bulkier, but the convenience of going from 0 to 100% power in seconds is well... Read the full review →

The best camera you can have is the one you have with you. You'll have to go out of your way to find a reason not to carry this one.
