Very nice toy for the price Jul 02, 2008

This is my basic review of the EZ205. I hope it's helpful in determining whether or not to purchase it. One thing I did not mention in the video clip was the digital zoom, which is pretty much a non feature and tends towards big time blurry. Not a big deal if you're not planning on using it.

Review Revoked Jul 01, 2008

"Wrecks"
Some websites are using my review of this product to sell merchandise, no doubt earning sales commissions by using my writing. Therefore I revoke this review.

 Small Wonder is just ok...but read my follow-up. Jul 31, 2008
By Jeff Hoogmoed

The RCA Small Wonder is not as great as I thought it was going to be.
I was excited when I read the reviews, but I should have looked around the www a bit more to see how it works with Mac before placing my order.
The reason why I opted for this cam instead of the Flip was because of the removable card...turns out its a major pain to take the card out, not just a pop-out-the-side one like I thought it would be...my fault for not doing more research though.
Actually, it works ok with Mac, you simply plug it in and you can easily get the files and drag them onto the desktop. You can even open up the video in any number of programs that play AVI files, but I don't seem to get any audio in any app besides VLC...I open the RCA video files in Quicktime Pro, Final Cut Pro, whatever, there's no audio, this means I can't edit! Pretty much why I bought this!
If I could edit the video files, it would get 5 stars... can anyone help?
Also, the still pictures that it takes aren't great...think of a 1 MP cam-phone.
Should've gotten Ultra Flip instead.

Follow-up comment...
I found a great way to convert any file into any format!
VisualHub (forgot I even had this), will do just that. Now I'm able to take the AVI files that the Small Wonder utilizes, and convert them into DV for use in Final Cut Pro or iMovie.
Very pleased with my RCA Small Wonder now!
Only wish I could bump my rating of this cam up 1 star...

Well worth the price... Nov 29, 2008
By Wankel
I bought this camera to take video of a new puppy.
PROS:
- Small. Not any bigger than a pack of cards.
- Cheap. I don't worry too much about damaging it.
- Takes two AA batteries. Easy to change. No battery pack, etc.
- Memory can be upgraded and cards are cheap now.
- Audio sensitivity is OK
- Auto power off after a few minutes.
- No moving parts; no worries about maintenance or things getting knocked out of alignment.
- Easily concealed for candid shots. In a pinch, and at the internet quality setting (longer recording time), it could probably even be used for el cheapo surveillance.
CONS:
- Limited zoom. Only 2x.
- Image looses focus and is fuzzy at extreme zoom. Better to move closer to whatever you're shooting rather than use the zoom, which is pretty much worthless anyway.
- Batteries don't last long, but they're cheap.
- I wish I could turn off the audio alert the camera makes when powering up; it has wrecked a few candid shots I wanted to get of my German Shep pup, who reacted to the tone when it sounded...
- Lack of an optical viewfinder means its hard to view things in the viewfinder in bright sunlight, but thats pretty much a fault for all LCD screens.
- Poor quality when recording at the extended time (think of the older tape-based units).
All in all, I LIKE it. The software is easy to install and use. Has a little carrying case and an offer to purchase custom skins if you're into that sort of thing. Is it a camera I would buy to take video of new babies or the trip to England and meeting with Queen Elizabeth? No, but for the price, it serves it's purpose well...

Awsome little camcorder!......... NOT ANYMORE!!! REVIEW UPDATE Oct 04, 2008
By ILoveTheUSA
My wife and I bought this for my son's 12th birthday and he loves it. The quality of the video is quite good with a large amount of storage that can be upgraded, but for his needs 30min of video is fine. The screen is good quality, and the price for this was much cheaper than similar products especially considering it comes with a USB cable, carrying case, and batteries.
HERE'S AN UPDATE, THIS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION 2 WEEKS INTO USING IT. IT WAS NOT DROPPED OR HANDLED ROUGHLY, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WOULD FREEZE UP FOR NO REASON WHILE LOOKING AT VIDEO OR PICS AND THE ONLY WAY TO "THAW" IT WAS REMOVING THE BATTERIES. THAT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE IT TOOK GREAT VIDEO.
