Still an Amazing System!
1 of 1 found this helpful If you do not have a DS or DS Lite, the DSi would be a great update for any gamer. Just like the Lite, The DSi compact and features an awesome and enjoyable touch screen! Unfortunately (for some), the DSi does not have the GBA slot like the Lite does. Some may not mind, but others will find it aggravating that their GBA games cannot be used in this system anymore. But, you are still able to play those games, as long as they are bought through the Nintendo Shop just like on the Wii. Another thing about the DSi is that the battery life is not as lengthy as the Lite. It does NOT have poor battery life, just quite a bit shorter than the Lite. Exploring the internet on this system is also handy as long as you are in a place with free wifi.

Great camera! Considering the Zx3? Pay the extra few bucks for the Zx5!!
I ordered this camera to use while riding my bicycle. It comes with a nice wrist strap, which I connect to a lanyard and keep around my neck. This is my first time using a sport/action camera, but I am quite pleased.
I charged the battery and got two days worth of life out of it. I got about 7-8hrs of asage out of this on the 720 HD setting and letting the camera shut itself off on its own.
I've used this camera in low light (dusk and night time) as well as overcasty morning/afternoon. The video exceded my expencations in both situations. In low light/night the camera will "search" for the right exposure, sometimes not able to get it quite right for extremely dark spots. But, it handled bright spots quite well!
Being on a bike, the shake was a real issue that his camera handles well. Other than my lack of panning skills, the shake wasn't horrible. It also picked up sound well without that horrible scratchy wind sound. A downside is that the zoom is a little "quick". I wish that it was just a tad slowly (especially in video mode).
Physically, the camera looks like an older cell phone, so people are less likely to pay you any mind while filming. Also, that means it's quite comfortable to hold and natural to grab in the right position while riding. The large button is easy to feel for without taking your eyes off the rode and the shutter sound (photo mode) and beep (video mode) are loud enough that you can distiquish what mode you are in. (I made the mistake of not being in the right mode I wanted a few times.)
Overall, I'm glad that I went with this camera. It zooms in and out a little too quickly, but the shake is well managed, the sound is great, and works for all times of the day without too much difficulties.
