This camera was ordered as a Christmas gift, so I have not had much opportunity to play with it. Just basic tests so far to make sure it charges and works before wrapping and putting under the tree. What I can say is the camera arrived quickly, packed well, and is true plug and play. Put the USB key into the computer, it opens like a thumb drive. The User's Manual is stored on the drive. The instructions are clear and simple (despite improper grammar in some spots!) and easy to follow.
The few video tests I performed came out with great results. Incredible video considering the small size of the lens. Great audio quality as well. Have not done any low-light tests.
The pen itself is a wee bit bulkier than I had hoped. But measurements are the same as every other model I looked at, so I don't think you'll find anything smaller. If the site allows me, I'll check back in a month or so with more detail on low-light results and some comment on how it holds up under normal useage. As of now, I cannot comment on whether it is worth the money paid... but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
