A highly innovative video camera that captures very crisp and clear, 640x480 pixel video footage even in low light conditions, such as in a classroom. Movement, either through panning the camera or movement of an object in frame, is also coped with well, producing a very smooth end result. The robust design also boats a pop-out integral USB plug, that allows the user to quickly download video clips to a computer. The camera is also supplied with simple video editing and sharing software, which runs directly from the camera itself when plugged into a PC, eliminating the need for installation and licensing worries.
