 disappointed August 14, 2010

I am disappointed with this product. There was not enough information on how to operate the pen. I wrote to the manufacturer. Their response was, ...it is what it is. I can't get a refund. It is now in my junk drawer. Hopefully I will find someone who could figure it out. Then it would be too late for me to use

 Good budget video pen June 24, 2010

The pen worked as advertised for me. The sound is good, and the resolution is good enough to recognize faces at the table in our meeting room. The video is 640x480, however it is encoded at 1280x960. This means that the 4 GB card fills up fairly quickly (about 1MB per second of video). One hour of video about fills up the pen's memory. After converting to MPEG format, the video gets down to a more manageable 10 MB/minute or so. The picture quality isn't great either, but it is good enough to recognize faces, also. The battery seems to charge fairly quickly, after an hour or so, and it lasts as long as the SD card does.

First and foremost kudos to amazon.com, you never let me down with your products. Anyways, I was hesitant to purchase this product since there were a couple of negative reviews(especially the one that said it doesn't work). I have been trying to research product just because the price is just too good to be true. Anyways, here are my observations:
Product received with some scratches up the top of the pen (at the gold accent). It seems like it had been used before. Although, there was no significant aesthetic damage observed. The instruction manual is poorly translated(grammar error), however, it is readable and understandable(stress on the understandable part). Charging of the pen took approximately 2 hours from a laptop and the "charging behavior" was exactly as what was written on the manual.
Camera feature: work as the instruction manual described. image captured is comparable to a 1.3 - 2 megapixel camera.
Video feature: works as the instruction manual described. sound is good, video is ok. it compares to video captured through a 1.3 - 2 megapixel camera.
**errors on the instruction manual: they should edit the led color when the camera mode or video mode is on. it should not be blue but green**
pros:
+ very cheap for a concealed portable device
+ video and camera images are acceptable considering the price(i mean you're not buying an hd quality video cam here)
+ the indicator led turns off when on video mode making it tough to notice the device
+ the pen works
+ can be charged through the usb
cons:
- when not used to the device, it is hard to determine which mode you are on since there is not a switch or indicator to the modes
- not hd quality (but for 39 bucks??!!!)
- instruction manual not properly constructed (grammar errors/poor translation)
overall:
I would like to recommend this device to everyone. The device is cheap and it works. The image/video quality is decent for the price.

I just received the camera pen and after charging it up and trying it out I must say it's pure ...GARBAGE!
The video quality is horrible. The picture is grainy, the color is faint and it has scroll lines through it.
Then to top it off, the sound doesn't match up to the picture. Save your money!!
