DVG 595V HD Camcorder
I don't see the objections some make about this little wonder. First of all the complaint that the zoom is only 5X puzzles me. Mine is 20X. I found the picture superiority to be very good, and like most small cameras you have to use a tripod if you are addicted to zooming. I bought two extra batteries through Amazon for less about $17 including postage. I now can rush for a couple of hours or more (wedding video)
Put it this way. If you want to shoot a professional documentary, for a two or three thousand you can get an tolerable unit. If, like my family, you want an all around camera inexpensive camera with excellent pictures (including stills...it also has its own spark!) then this is the camera for you.
It has most of the features of the (far) more expensive cameras and even comes with its own case and cables for TV, VCR or computer. It also has a built in light for low direct light conditions!
One other thing. Several people complained that the playback on the computer was erratic. That is the fault of the computer not the camera. The camera comes with four unlike levels of resolution all the way up to 1080p. 1080p takes a lot of memory and a fast CPU. For slower computers use the put down resolutions. Same applies to attachment to e-mail.

Don't buy if you demand HD
The camera isn't bad for a sane video device but it's not worth 2 cents for HD. The focus isn't the best and the camera doesn't deal with low light well either. In HD mode, the video undulates and moves in all directions when viewing. It can make one seasick. I sent an email asking about this hard and have never received a response.
If you are looking for a normal video camera, it's not bad. The single shot isn't bad either if outdoors and have enough faint.
The monitor screen is very difficult to see outdoors so you may wind up guessing at where to aim for the shot. I've lost a video system because I couldn't tell if the unit was recording because I couldn't see the details on the screen. I hit the record handle but ....

It's a excess value!
We bought this camcorder rightful before going on a "hiking vacation" in Southern Utah & the Grand Canyon North Rim. We hiked over 50 miles of the North Rim, Zion, Bryce & Red Coul trails and returned home with over 24 GigaBytes of .MOV's & JPG's.
We had no idea as to what to expect, as to image calibre on a 1080P Hi-Def TV, until after we returned home. Quite frankly, we didn't expect very much considering the very low penalty. We were amazed by the vivid, sharply detailed images that we saw displayed on our TV!
Some of the pluses:
It is very small & shine weight and appears to be well-made.
It's very "user friendly" & the controls are all very conveniently located.
The mobile is extremely small, so we bought a spare (for about $16) but we never had to use it, even on all-day hikes.
The SD-HC flash memory is very concentrated and inexpensive. Make sure that you buy Class 6 Hi-Speed! (the "Class" rating is located private of the large "C" on the SD-HC label.) We bought (3) 8GB chips, (about $16 each) but never completely filled 1 chime in during an entire day's hiking and off-loaded all of our files to our laptop each evening.
It appears that the "Zoom Shivaree Update" mentioned in C. Trent's revue has been incorporated in recent production units.
There are a few shy of-comings: (but what can you expect for $179?)
Only 5X optical zoom - not a problem when filming landscape scenes.
(As a matter of fact, we found that the detail was so sharp that we didn't need to zoom.)
It does have a rather small field - a wider slant lens might be needed for some uses.
No optical viewfinder - but many smaller camcorders omit this physiognomy.
Image Stabilization isn't very effective in 1080P mode.
A few hints:
The best way to store and de-emphasize delay Hi-Def movies from this (or any other)Hi-Def camcorder is to buy a "WD TV HD Media Player." (about $85 to $119) It connects to your Hi-Def TV with an HDMI line and can connect to 1 or 2 USB hard drives, thumb drives or the Flash Memory chip from the camcorder (when installed in a USB adapter) and monkey about Photos, AVI's, MOV's & many other formats. This is an awesome addition to any Hi-Def TV!
(Make sure that you update the WD TV firmware to the latest translation to get rid of some of the glitches in the earlier versions and to make it compatible with additional media formats. A Western Digital be supportive of rep can help you do this.)
You can also connect the camcorder to your TV with component video cables for play-back.

Great Def Camera
The camera works critical. We had a problem in that the camera came with the wrong battery charger and getting the correct one was a bit of a defy and took several weeks, I am hoping that I don't need any more help from their "customer service" department.

It's A-OK, but only if you know what to expect
I am an Amateurish visual effects artist and I work with a lot of different applications. One thing that is crucial to me is transit tracking. I've been using a 10 year old Sony Handycam for a long time to kill test shots for special effects, and while it's been enough for doing the job, I really needed something higher grade.
The DXG 595v sounds really good on paper; 1080p, 5 megapixel shots, actually cheap. But unfortunately, it's got a couple flaws that make it unusable for my needs. Video eminence wasn't that important to me, after all I was using a 10 year old 480i optical camcorder.
#1 error was optical distortion. Since there is no motion compensation when shooting in 1080p, the slow sensor filmed hazy images that differ between each frame (short, stretched, skewed, etc). This made motion taking impossible. If you plan on using a tripod, then it might work fine, but that beats the purpose of moving tracking.
#2, the average bitrate at 1080p was about 1.7 MBps (MegaBytes), which is about 1/4 of the measure 1080p and 1/2 standard bitrate for 720p. Daylight shots are fine, but anything indoors will straightaway be very grainy.
#3, the widest angle possible on this camcorder makes it very difficult to work in solid quarters. Even in a 24x18 foot room, I had to squeeze against the wall in order to get full character shots. My handycam was 35mm encyclopaedic angle, this is more close to 47mm.
For a lot of people this camera might work, I wasn't expecting much, but I was expecting something lose more usable than my Handycam. Build quality was better than I expected, and the features were enough to hold my interest until I hurriedly some video.
Be advised that this is a TOY. Not even close to amateur level, and no where near professional level. For that premium I would look for a great digital camera that also did 720p, than a really cheap camcorder.

Not A High-mindedness Buy
I got this camcorder for last Christmas and it is unspeakable. If you do decide to purchase it, you need to get some kind of light attachment because without it the video quallity is horrible. The flash is too bright for pictures (another reason why an attachable light is required)and if used, pics will get out as a white flash or either blue tinted. An attachable mike is also useful, because the camera only pics up the words of whoever is recording.
Go with a different camera, this one is worthless...

DXG-581v Comcorder
Adroit Camcorder for the price. Video Quality is great, however the mic pretty much sucks for anything other than the guy holding the camcorder, tho this is to be expected, so if you dearth to record anything with good audio you'll need a separate mic.
It records with the h.264 (mp4) codec also gaol of a .mov container, but the file extension may be changed to .mp4 or .avi to play it on almost any pc.
Battery lasts about 45 minutes, I picked up some extras here on amazon for about $4 with shipping, and they m just as well as the manufacturer's battery.
Get a tripod, Magix Movie Edit 15 Pro, and set up a country-like screen for the ultimate camcording fun! Check out YouTube's demo video's by searching DXG-581v if you shelter't thought of that already!

Eminent for the price.
Actually can't do better for the ~$100-120 price range. Very small, portable... only cons is that it doesn't have ikon stabilization and better zoom and wide angle.. but for the price you can work around its weaknesses.. you can surely carry this and a flashlight in the same pocket to overcome the need for a light.. A tripod helps for big recordings..

$100 is way too much
At this piece of advice in time the 506V is older and not worth $100. As with all the previous posts the video camera works sunny for kids and non important things, if you don't have any problems and can get it cheaper. I purchased a brand new one just recently from a native store for $50 and that was a little too much for what I got. When recording video you can't hear any one very well except your own voice. You have to be right in someones visage to hear them. I purchased it to replace my old Canon point and shoot, bad sensor, and ironically it still does improved with sound. The positive side is the video is super nice and working with MPEG4 is cool. Otherwise cameras that sell for $100 or at $150 are way better. Do your research...which by reading this you are. If you can go out and test some in the store to get a better fancy of what you're getting.

Adequate deal for about $60 and NO MORE!
This camera does all it claims to, and works ok. It is in event cheaply designed, and has a goofy set of buttons and switches, but you can get used to them. The coolest feature I evaluate is the swivel monitor display. BUT, basically, this camera does everything, except for maybe being an MP3 player, that all my digital cameras do, which are objective and shoot pocket cameras, but make WAY better videos.
However, these cameras also cost about twice as much as this DXG "Video" camera. So, if you homelessness a decent all in one camera toy for a kid, or as a gift, this just might be a good pick for the price, otherwise, look around some more.
I own a Fuji digital camera, and a Nikon L series camera. Both take much raise photos, and make much better videos! As mentioned, they do cost about twice as much as this DXG unit. The DXG is intended as a "video" camera first, and digital camera second. My Fuji and Nikon are designed to be Digital Cameras first, and "Video" cameras next.
I do not regret buying my DXG 506V as it was about $60, but had it cost more, I would be VERY regretful! Sorry, but that is the truth, with detail to my needs and values.

This seems like a excessive thing but we're having trouble. First, we can't get it to work with a memory card inserted - it immediately shuts the camera down. Several population have commented on needing a "certain" card. I know it can't take more that 1GB but I didn't see any other specs. I can't get any infor on the website, and the instructional DVD won't travail in either my PC or DVD player so I'm at a loss as to why. The one other real concern is the manual says when you insert the card to be positive to face the gold contacts away from the batteries - the only way any SD card I have fits is with the gold contacts fa the battery compartment? Any thoughts?

DXG-506 Comment
This digital camera works well in approximate, but do your research before you buy one. I have found in bright sunlight, that the image is very blurry. I have also found that zooming the camera in all the way causes a lot more groggy pixels then thought. The image becomes very distorted. All in all I think the camera is good but I am sure their are some new products out on the customer base now that gets the job done better. If your looking for a cheap digital camcorder, then buy one of these.

One Unrivalled for Compact Size. That's it.
We received this camcorder as a donation and were smitten. What a coincidence that we were in the market for a camcorder and someone GAVE us one. We were pleased with how small this DXG was and I was excited to try it out.
Then we as soon as realized that it's not worth $150.00. It's not even worth $20.00 in my opinion, and so we gave it away.
I don't be aware if there are camcorders in this price range that have better quality or not (as I bought a Canon FS100). But, the abominable quality cannot be ignored. The mp3 option is ridiculous; it is not a selling point and they should've spent such time and achievement on better QUALITY than to incorporate mp3 capability. The camera feature is worse than some cell phones, even at 5 megapixels. I fancy that the Flip is better than this, albeit only 60 minutes record time and more expensive.
To take into one's possession its "best" recording quality, use this camcorder outdoors in bright light. Any other lighting position, be it indoors or out, really shows off its... failures.
PROS: The compact size.
It's very suitable to bring with you anywhere because it will fit in your back pocket or purse, which may lend itself to more use than your larger (better quality) camcorders.
The only personally I would recommend this product to are children. If dropped or broken, the price isn't too bad that you would have a heart attack. And, the recording nobility is better than cell phones. So if you have an avid director on your hands that's 13 or under and tends to not trouble for their items, by all means, have them try this DXG out.
If this product was marketed towards children, it would probably get better reviews. But unhappily, DXG tried to pull it off as an item that was worth it's features and price.
