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

    I've had the camera for a week and I already sent it back for repair. A screw broke that holds on the battery and SD card door. With that screw broken the camera is not waterproof. Other than that the camera was pretty good for the price. I didn't like that it will not zoom in video mode, but it will when taking pictures. The first thing i did when i got it was to submerge it in the sink to make sure it was waterproof and it worked fine. All said i didn't expect alot of features for the price, but the lack of a zoom leads me to not recommend it.

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

    Great Cam-Corder and great price.
    Had an earlier model of this brand and the tripod screw attachment broke because it was plastic, happy to see they improved this model with a metal version. Unbeleavable clarity and definition of images, even too much for what I need. Use it for personal family images and sport kayaking mounted atop the kayak. Also better battery. (Li-ion rechargable)
