Fisher FVDC1 CameraCorder 3.2MP MPEG-4 Digital Camcorder with 5.8x Optical Zoom (Memory Card Not Included) description
 Capable of superb, DVD-like video recording with CD-like audio quality, the unique Fisher FVDC1 CameraCorder can also take high-resolution, 3.2-megapixel still images. Compact enough to fit snugly in your hand or carry easily inside a pocket or small purse--and weighing just 5.4 ounces--it's the ideal, all-in-one device for capturing life's special moments whenever and wherever they occur.

Storage is completely "tapeless," using a postage stamp-size 512 megabyte SD memory card, which lets you record up to 30 minutes of full-motion video at 30 frames-per-second (VGA-size of 640 x 480). In still mode, the 512 MB card can store up to 491 images (2048 x 1536), more than enough for crisp, sharp 11 x 14-inch color prints. And, unlike ordinary camcorders, you can simultaneously capture still images even while recording in video mode with a simple shutter press.

The CameraCorder comes with a Multifunction Docking Station that connects to a computer via an included high-speed USB 2.0 connection cable. The Docking Station can be used as a battery charger or as an AC power source during playback. It can also be used to easily connect the CameraCorder to a TV or PC for convenient, instant playback of recently shot videos and images. A handy, ultra-thin infrared remote control is included for simplified menu browsing and playback.

Features include:

  • CD-Quality Stereo Sound (AAC Audio)
  • Simplified On-Screen Menus easily guide the viewer through recording/playback options
  • Audio Recorder Mode for convenient, audio-only recordings with CD sound quality
  • Up to 30 Minutes of DVD-Like Quality Recording or 80 Minutes of VHS-Quality Recording (with Supplied 512MB Memory Card)
  • Up to 491 Pictures in High 3.2 Megapixel Resolution (2048 x 1536) mode or up to 3931 Pictures in Normal 0.3 Megapixel Resolution (640 x 480) mode (with Supplied 512MB Memory Card)
  • 6-Mode Auto Exposure Mode with Manual Override for detailed, lifelike stills under a wide range of shooting conditions
  • 3-Mode Flash: Auto, Forced, Off
  • 3-Mode Auto Focus for fine-tuning auto focus sensitivity
  • 9-Image Display Playback for up to nine thumbnail views at a time on the monitor screen
  • 5.8x Optical Zoom Lens; 10x Digital Zoom
  • Playback Zoom/Search for enlarging or reducing the displayed image using the thumb-operable Telephoto/Wide Angle zoom slider switch
  • Rotating Color TFT LCD Monitor with Mirror Mode makes it easy to shoot from virtually any angle or perspective
  • Adjustable LCD Brightness Control
  • Multifunction Status Indicator: an LED indicator atop the FVD-C1 verifies function status
  • Direct Dubbing allows copying directly from the FVD-C1 to a VHS VCR or DVD recorder with supplied AV cable
  • Multifunction Docking Station with Handy Infrared Remote Control
  • Power Save Function helps conserve power in recording mode after a specified period of inactivity
  • High-Speed USB 2.0 Connectivity
  • Lithium-Ion Battery and AC Operation

Supplied software includes:

  • Motion Director, the world's first image stabilizing software for the PC, reduces the effects of a shaking camera hand by detecting unwanted camera movement in video files. Statistical analysis helps ensure a stable and highly accurate image during playback.
  • Ulead Video Studio 7 SE DVD for editing and assembling MPEG-4 video files and translating files for burning in DVD, VCD or SVCD format.
  • Ulead Photo Explorer 8.0 SE Basic for quickly viewing and trimming video files, plus viewing and editing photo files.

♥♥♥♥♥ Good and bad
[BTW: The Fisher and Sanyo models are the same}

When I first heard about the Fisher Cameracorder I was truely amazed: this is what I have been looking for since my first digital camera with 15 sec video ciip capability: Combine a TRUE digital camera and TRUE digital camcorder.

Pros:
1. Very small and lightweight. Perfect to put in your pocket. Exponentially better than lugging around a bog dumb camcorder. Infact, I carry my Cameracorder everywhere I go. Can't say that about your camcorder, can you?
2. Easy to use.
3. SD memory cards are used everywhere and come in capacities up to 2GB+. Hours of record time at max quality, and you can just pop it into your media card reader on your computer.

Cons:
1. Taking a picture WHILE recording video results in a pause in the video and an audible shudder-click.
2. Quality of video, while better than digital cameras, isn't as good as dedicated camcorders. It is 640x480 30fps. It's ok tho.
3. Very poor low-light-level video and pictures. I have adjusted the settings so actual pictures turn out ok (but looking through the viewfinder is still dark), but these settings do not modify (amplify) video.
4. Adobe Premiere has troubles editing MPEG-4 (even though the newest version says it's compatible). It's very slow compared to other formats.
5. Quality of pictures is not that great. Don't just go by megapixel count. The lens quality makes and HUGE difference in picture quality. My Cannon ELPH took fantasic pictures, better than this camera. So did my Sony Cybershot with Carl Veis lens.

My Sanyo is having a problem where the screen will be totally dark (sometimes) when I first turn it on. I have to switch from REC to PLAY mode and take a picture for the screen to turn on. Also, for a couple months the Video Record and Playback functions were non-op. I think I may have gotten some water in the camera. It's been working correctly lately.
