Of course this isn't a high end HD cam, it is a little pen you stick in you pocket. The three that we purchased for our Private Investigators office worked just fine. Yes, you have to read the instructions carefully, and follow them, but if you do you will be OK. We have used them in close surveillance and mid surveillance roles and for the price they are terrific. I think the camera is excellent for the price and the mic is good too. People still have not clued into the fact that you get way you pay for, almost everything cheap comes from China, and you need to pay attention to the instructions. The added bonus of these guys is that it can also be used as a USB memory device. That is a relatively good bargain for 4GB of USB memory taking into account what the primary fiunction is. If you unscrew it incorrectly you might think that it is poorly constructed, Other than that I do not know how it could have fallen apart on anyone who handled it correctly. We now live in a global economy, China is here to stay, and when you buy something like this for $45.00 that means that it only cost Amazon about $10.00. I have seen these advertised as high as $129.00. If you want something better, then pay for it.
 Always works and as advertised April 15, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3IMT8GU86K199 After three months of ownership, and 50 videos, I'd have to say it's okay. The ultra wide angle lens means you usually get what you want.
Pros:
-tiny, silent, and even writes on paper
-color images, and decent sound, if you don't cover the mike
-simple to play in Windows Media Player, and convert to wmv format
-actually takes videos at night... as good as any cheap camera
Cons:
-no image stabilazation, stereo sound, or zooming.
-more serious: only about 10 frames per second, so no sports usage
-easy to cover up microphone, and end up with muffled sound
The attached video is un-edited.
 Not EXACTLY working... at all...yet... February 26, 2010

I'm pretty adept with gadgets, even those with badly translated instructions. In this case, the instructions are not particularly difficult to follow and there's a good diagram showing where all the very tiny features are located However, minor problem: the pen doesn't do what the instructions indicate. For example, it says to hold down the power button for 1-3 seconds and the yellow indicator light will come on - so far so good - then after initialization, the indicator light will turn blue THIS NEVER HAPPENS. No. Blue. Light. Ever. Apparently this is a key part to the whole deal as the blue light is when you are in - yep you got it "video record mode". I tried continuing on skipping the blue light stage, following the rest of the instructions, considering perhaps that they had been written to apply to many models, and this model simply didn't have that color change feature. I experimented, I do believe every conceivable permutation, checking periodically on my computer... AB-SO-LU-TE-LY NO-THING. And - Bonus, the yellow light won't tun off now. Wa-hoo. A truly fine product. I am awfully stubborn though, and it's difficult to believe that it simply doesn't work at all, so I'm going to try to do a little more research on it. Anyone discovers any trick to this, please post it - would love to know!
Till then, I would only recommend this to those electronic-whiz-geniuses who are intent on figuring out how this works - and actually it should be sent to them for free by the case! :)

In short, I haven't been able to get it to work and it won't open when I plug it into a computer's USB 2.0 slot. The instructions don't mention anything to be done before use and the manual only tells you how to use it. Maybe I could edit this review at a later date after I perform more tests to try to get it to work but for now, I don't feel too good about it and well, it's basically just a really expensive pen.

This item did not work straight out of the box. Instruction manual was one of those Chinese translations with very bad English translation which made the instructions essentially useless. I returned it right away.
