This review is from: GE DV1-GG Waterproof/Shockproof 1080P Pocket Video Camera (Graphite Gray) (Electronics)
I read loads of reviews for this type of HD cam and was all set to get the kodak playsport, but I was lucky enough to be able to test several, in my local electronics shop. This one is by far the best quality in my view, in not only movie quality but sound and still’s. The feture I like best is while your taking movie, you just hit the camera icon and it takes a real good quality photo without disturbing your movie and saves it sepately. I read in some reviews of other brands that there good outside but rubbish inside, not this one, takes movie and stills inside just as good. The only problem I have is that my PC finds it hard to keep up, so I have to render it to a smaller avi size to convert to dvd, not a problem for me as I love doing stuff like that. P.S the sound quality is great as well, I’m well chuffed with my purchase.
P.P.S I use a 4gig sdhc class 4 card and it works great at all resalutions.

I was a little nervous about buying this camera since it’s so new and very little has been written about it. But I’m glad I did. The camera is easy to use, has good battery life, and takes great pictures and videos. I really like that the memory is expandable unlike other palm camcorders.

I really like this camera as soon as i got it – it’s a great size – fits in the palm of the hand very nicely, looks like a mobile phone – people keep asking me if it is a mobile.
Well built or so it seems so far – tested in the pool, has sturdy rubber waterproof seals – the battery life is pretty decent also as the screen is no bigger than a nokia E72 – lasts long enough with a good power save function when not in use.
Not sure if i’m a fan of the USB interface … click out the USB connector and plug it in directly to a port! i’m always paranoid i’ll damage it so i tend to use the supplied extension cable to charge and transfer pics which can be slow when u have HD res movies…
Doesn’t shoot on motion or sound detect – which would be a cool feature to have. actually this camera is relatively featureless but makes up for it with simple user interface and control.
Movie quality is very good a clean – the best i’ve seen underwater with good low light conditions – has a zoom function which is rather slow – but useful.
Camera does not take good still any closer than 1 meter at least.
it’s also very wide screen – so make sure you shoot this thing the right way up or it will just look odd.
Easy to scratch the surface be careful to keep it in a pouch or it’ll be looking shabby in no time … black surround on the back comes off easily.
Apart from that … one of the best around – buy buy buy
