If you are looking for a do-it-all gadget that is going to turn some heads and have your friends wondering what that little thing really does, go ahead and spend your well-earned money on the D-Snap SV-AV50. Otherwise, if you are looking for a camera with a good picture quality, while still maintaining the size and durability of a well-built unit, look elsewhere.
Panasonic definitely missed the ball with this one; I would say this camera is good enough for two things: taking full-resolution pictures in a well-lit outdoor environment and using it as an MP3 player, since having a remote control while playing music is expected out of an audio player these days anyway. The video quality is just as good as you would take with a video cell phone. It would be a nice thing to use it to transfer some of your movies to an SD format, but the cost of a large size flash card makes it impractical to say the least, I wouldn't want to spend a 100 bucks on a piece of blank media for my movies. Let's hope that this is just the beginning of the new era of pocket video-recording devices and the best is yet to come.
