Last week when I went to buy my DVD recorder from Aldi, I neglected to tell you that I also bought another gadget from there! Its a DV camcorder, for only $179!
This is the Traveler DV5040 camcorder which has a 64 mb internal memory but will take optional SD card up to 2 gb of memory! And it comes with 3 years manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
The whole package comes with the camcorder, a tripod (now I have too many tripods), a case, 4 rechargeable batteries with the charger, USB cable, AV cable, earphone, software cd and manual.
Apart from taking video, it can also take 5 megapixel pictures, record voice and plays mp3 files. The only thing I had to get for it is the 2 gb SD card which I bought for $105. You can record in 640 resolution or 320 resolution and there's 3 qualities of video to choose from. 
Why would you want to record in a quality lower than the best! So a 2 gb card will record just over 1 hour of video but if you use the lowest quality, you can do over 3 hours. I'm still learning all the functions so let me get back to you on how good it is.
See how small it is in my hand. Do you think you'll get a bit of fun with this little gadget? Recording your children's birthdays, family gatherings, what you do under the sheets...

Cool! Now you can make your own porn liao.! LOL
maria: yes, but this camera does it better!
maytin_ja: thanks for the web link, its helpful..if i post video on my blog it will be of poorer quality so it doesn't slow down ur downloads so unless u have a super duper connection, there's no point for me to upload the videos right?
cynthia: go get one so we can both video blog!
SA: can u be my star? hehe
cocka doodle: yes, u wanna buy my porn? hahahaha
That's a cool camera.
Now you end up with 3 tripods hor...hahaha
really? ok, faster post what you do under the sheets!!!
ok dude! what else u got from aldi that day? faster empty ur pockets and surrender all.
Okay, I'm right here waiting for you to post the pics of you and your wifey 'under-the-sheets' now. *wink wink*
we dun have this type of store here. =(
Er, I happen to own one of this camera, which I have been using for the past two years. Sadly, I must say I didn't really like it, although it's packed with features. Mine isn't called Traveler, it's iPocketDV.
Zooming kinda sucks, no optical zoom. Surprisingly, mine's 6 megapixel :P The rest should be the same. It gets really annoying at times because you just cant take good shots at night. You'll get the hang of it after some time :D Good thing you have a Sony one :)
Oh, all the negatives only, I noticed. Erm, the video recordings aren't too bad, actually. Just can't really record when there's bad lighting. Okay, here I go again. Sorry about the lengthy comment :รพ
Btw, mine looks EXACTLY like yours, except the name part. LOL. Maybe one day I should have an N73 vs. iPocketDV as an entry :)
che-cheh: yalor, u want one?
me: that one has to go to my pay site!
sengkor: nothing! honest! nothing more!
titoki: take a number & get in line!
cynthia: then fly over here!
SA: ok..lemme get my ticket ready..
ray: i appreciate an honest opinion, thank you! i can't expect much from this camera since its so cheap..more like a toy than anything else, i'll just use it in daylight!
Hi:
These are now available in the UK from Thursday for £69.99.
Any further views on whether it's a good buy before I go to get one?
Thanks,
John
