Total rubbish
I purchased this item as I needed a cheap Camcorder that would record an hours teaching. When I got it home, I found that it was battery operated. The batteries supplied lasted under 5 mins. I replaced these and it lasted nearly 10 mins but the screen kept on phasing, and there were lines across it all the time.
I knew the product was cheap, but it appears to have been put together by a toddler, the whole thing was really messy and the microphone did not pick up any sound at all. I returned this product to the retailer, as not fit for purpose - do not buy this unless it is for a toddler to play with.

Great compact, simple digicam. Good for kids.
Great value for money, robust, easy to use. My children love the fast results and ease of use. PC treats it like a memory stick so once connected with USB, just drag and drop files to computer. TV out is useful too. Good for web-type films, eg youtube clips.

Have now bought class sets for school and am using them to record sports techniques, science experiments, interviews for English and lots more. The kids love them.

Not a sophisticated product, but does exactly what it says on the tin, with ease.

I bought this for my daughter's 8th birthday, it is easy to use and for the price is excellent value, it really is unpack and use. The movie we created was of a far higher quality than I expected for £27 with clear images and adequate sound quality.
As it is basic with no zoom I wouldn't recommend it for special occassions but for a child to create their own films or filming a day at the beach I think it's perfect.

OK point and shoot video camera. Not great, but value for money
My Busbi video camera cost £24.99.

In the packaging came:
The camera
A mini cd (arcsoft video impression 2 editing software)
A USB Cable
2 X AA Batteries
1GB (no brand) SD Card, already in the slot.
Lanyard

The camera is just a little longer than a packet of cigarettes. It's *very* easy to use. The case is made of relatively cheap feeling white plastic. The "Silver" parts of the case are stickers that are adequate (after removing the protective plastic). It feels quite heavy for it's size with the batteries installed. The videos are taken while holding the device in portrait orientation (giving a regular landscape video). It's a bit awkward to hold. There is no lens cap and it's dusty already after one day.

When switching on and off it bleeps loudly. I can't see a facility to step through the recorded videos. you can just replay or delete the last one.

The display is adequate out of strong sunlight, but can be a bit laggy/blurry when the camera is panned. It's ability to adjut to changing light is slowish but adequate.

The SD card slot cover is a poor, loose flap of rubbery plastic. The slot is spring loaded.

There is no tripod or other mount holes.

The video quality is not brilliant, much like from a webcam. The sound quality is poor, with more hissing then I would have expected, and the audio quality is telephone-like.

So would I buy it again? Sure, it's worth £25, but don't expect it to look and feel like a £100 gadget, because it doesn't.

I'd probably have give it 3.5 stars if that was an option.

Children seem to like it.
