DXG-506V - Tapeless Camcorder / Digital Camera / MP3 Player

I usually try to avoid posting about
garbage these types of gadgets (this one is being filed under “Fun & Games”), but I’m making an exception. I have a couple buddies that swear by their
Casio Exilim EXZ50
digital camera, which they also claim is a good digital camcorder — I cringe everytime I hear that, I come from the camp that a camcorder is a high-quality 3CCD device. But I know technology is getting better and most people want convenience rather than quality, so for them, here is a very plasticy, inexpensive device that you can use to capture those special moments with, or, at the very least, you can give to your kids/teens to thrash. The DXG-305V, sold over 160,000 units since February and that version was a 3.3 megapixel camera… so people are buying these things. The new
DXG-506
uses MPEG-4 video compression technology for the “camcorder” part and offers high-resolution 5.1-megapixel digital still photos. The best part is that is the DXG-506 will be in the $170 range… or you can get the 3.3 megapixel
DXG-305
on sale at Amazon for around $99 — good stocking stuffer.
P.S. And no… it won’t work with Final Cut Pro or iMovie.

SAME HERE! CANT PUT MUSIC INTO MP3, IT WONT COME UP ON THE MENU ON THE CAMERA, NEITHER WILL VIDEO WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY ON THE CAMERA. IT SHOWS THE FILE IS ON THE CAMERA ON THE PC SIDE BUT NOT THE CAMERA ITS SELF
