So before my trip to South Korea, I purchased a camera. I looked for a while, and thought about buying one when I got over there, but didn't because of two things. Firstly I was not sure about making this purchase in a country where I did not know the language! And secondly, I wanted to document the trip there. The shopping proccess included going to every camera store i could think of, as well as those online. The requirments were simple: small enough to fit in my pocket (as it was thirty degrees every day I was there), it had to take video with sound, and it had to have memory compatible with other digital devices (not Olympus or Sony). This limited my selection to various cameras which were all out of my price range. So the search continued. I found a site when I searched the internet using these parameters, and found a very comparable, well-priced product which I then began to search for here in Ottawa. I dont use credit cards, nor do I even have one, so buying the camera online was not an option. Not one store I went to had even heard of this brand name of camera. So when a friend of mine told me that he had found the same camera on ebay, and I could use his account, I was sold. So I purchased the camera, (SVP XThinn 864, 8.0 MP) which came with all of the accessories promised, and a free 2gig SD card. I have had nothing but success with this camera so far in the two months I have been using it!! I am still trying to figure out all of the features on it but so far there is still a few I havent even used. This setting is using the night setting with an exposure rate of 8 seconds. The focal length can be varied as well, but I find the pics come out the best when the camera automatically selects the focal range. It can automatically adjust the shutter speed as well, but I like the pictures better when I choose it.
