Good Customer Service by Christophern on walmart.com Mar 9, 2011
I ordered the camera and then read reviews. They were mixed. From poor HD recording quality (1080)to the sound. While I am waiting for the camera to arrive I called the company. Here is what they said. Per quality in HD- A class "6" SDHC card is required. ...

Fabulous HD Camcorder by Larry From Palm Beach on ritzcamera.com Sep 22, 2010
Simply a fabuolus Camcorder with HD specs at a very low price. Ritz Camera beats the competition.
 
AMAZING Camera by Forrest W. Smith "moviemadnessman" on amazon.com Feb 17, 2011
This camera is amazing! shoots amazing videos, the audio quality (AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE THAT YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD OFF THE WEBSITE YOURSELF) IS great too! I shoot in 720p 30fps cause my hd tv is 720p and my computer which is Windows 7 the editing ...

Product did not work out of the box. by sgbmomto5 on walmart.com Jan 18, 2012
This camera arrived at our local store, and after charging it, it did not turn on. It was brand new and did not turn on even one time. I called the company, thinking perhaps I was overlooking something simple, and was met with the most scathing, verbally ...
 
Not the 1080p Camcorder to buy by lamahug on amazon.com Oct 6, 2011
I am sorry to write a bad review, but this camcorder is disappointing in its 1080p video performance. It was packaged perfectly, and looks and feels like a high quality item, but the 1080p videos that it takes are just disappointing. That's why you ...
 
You get what you pay for by Jim H on bhphotovideo.com Nov 12, 2010
Pretty much priced right. Good HD picture but poor sound quality as expected from other reviews. I wanted the 60 FPS feature, understanding that it was NOT HD, but was disappointed with the web-quality picture. The field of view with no zoom is too ...
 
What a piece of junk by AudreyAA on walmart.com Nov 18, 2011
Poor is not a low enough rating for this camera. I wish I could put a negative 100 stars. We bought this camera within weeks, the screen went blank and was not usuable. So we returned it to DXG and received a replacement. Within weeks the replacement ...
 
Great features, VERY Unreliable! by Aaronsports on walmart.com Jan 30, 2011
My camera doesn't even work anymore. I never dropped it or anything, nothing happened to it, I had it for about a week, and then some features on the camera just stopped working. Then they would start working about a week later, sometimes the camera would ...

I had a very good experience with a camcorder in same price range with the Sony Webbie 1080P filming bowling competition, but its short 1 hour+ battery life forced me to use a portable car jump start battery and dc to ac inverter as a power source...I am sorry to write a bad review, but this camcorder is disappointing in its 1080p video performance...That's why you buy a 1080p camcorder, to get good video images, right...

Easy to Use Good Image Stabilization Great Picture Quality Great Zoom Large Clear LCD Zoom range/performance No External Mic Input Poor Sound read your owners manual thoughly before using to know all of the icons displayed...Understandably, this camera is not a professional-grade camera, but for the price (I paid about [$]) it certainly does a good job...At a show with a much brighter-lit club, the video quality was surprisingly good, except that when you zoom in and out while filming the subject gets blurry until the camera can refocus, which is to be expected, I just wish it was faster...

DXG A85V Camcorder Review - DXG A85V Camcorder Review
While it doesn’t make much sense to record at those low-resolution modes, the A85V does offer a fast frame rate option to record slow motion footage at 240fps at resolution...Overall, the quality on the DXG-A85V is what you'd expect from a budget camcorder, a mixed bag...You can get comparable, or in some cases superior, video quality from lower cost pocket camcorders, but you won't get the range of features offered by the A85V...The A85V packs a 12x optical zoom lens, which is a great lens for the price point...

DXG USA DXG-A85V HD DXG Pro Gear 1080p High-Definition Camcorder | ComputerDumb.com
DXG’s A85V falls into an odd market niche...The A85V also supports a 12-megapixel, interpolated resolution for still captures...Overall, the feature set looks pretty good for a $319 (MSRP) high-definition camcorder that’s available online as low as $249...Low-light noise is actually pretty good, however, but you should be prepared to alter white balance or be prepared to “fix it in post” if need be...
