Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vivitar Mini DV Camcorder (DVR-510) with 2GB Internal Storage, Night Vision - Black
Customer Review: Marginal product, smeary recoding if moving, sound pickup not good.
Summary: 2 Stars
The camera itself is kind of a marginal product. It eats batteries like candy and the sound pickup is poor. I've bought some rechargeable batteries as I've been using this device a lot and went through $15 of regular ones fast. About 4 hours of record time will use up the four AAA batteries. Like they noted in the documentation going into night mode really uses up batteries. I don't think this is a problem with just this device but I'm guessing all DVR's like this go through batteries fast.
The sound pickup is not very good and any wind or loud noise will drive the circuits so you can't hear anything accept a load whooshing noise.
The software is buggy and wouldn't even operate on my XP system. It ran OK on Vista but I found it more annoying then helpful. The image editing software ran OK though. The software was one of the reasons I picked this device so I was disappointed that it wasn't worth anything.
Another issue was connecting it to a tower computer wasn't much of an option as the front USB connections were too recessed and I couldn't reach them so I had to use my lap top. Also had an issue trying to delete the files when using the USB connection, it would say the files had been deleted and when I would take the SD card and put it in the card slot the files would still be there, so I only transferred files using the card slot.
I would recommend that if you are looking for this type of device you should op for a higher quality (more expansive) recorder.
