    Comments about DXG-5B1V Sportster High Definition Camcorder (Red):

    I bought this camera in order to help me when I teach swimming. It is great to have the ability to show my students exactly what they are doing. The price was amazing and it only fell short of 5 stars because I'm not able to zoom while in video mode (only camera mode). Give me that capability and it would be 5 stars in my eyes.
