I was surprised by the small size and video quality, especially for the cost of the camera. I was not, however, impressed by being surprised that the camera just stopped recording. I tried to turn it off and back on, but it only stayed on the start up screen. I reset the camera and it seems to be working fine, now. Time will tell if it'll keep working reliably, but for less than $40.00, I guess I really can't complain.
