Not that great, September 28, 2004
Reviewer: Frank Henriquez
This camera is barely usable as a video camera. First off, you need a LOT
of light when capturing video... daylight or close to it.
Other not so great features:
- Video frame rate is no better than 15fps at 320 x 240 (as stated in the
manual) The best I've seen in the tests I've done so far is around 10 -
12fps. Marginal at best, and certainly not video camera quality.
- The battery/memory slot door is flimsy; it looks like it'll break after
a handful of uses.
- no optical zoom. Digital zoom is a useless gimmick.
- no mounting options at all, so you can't use it on a tripod.
The camera has some nice features, though.
- It's compact
- The pop-up LCD screen is not bad.
- the built-in microphone captures sound well.
If you need a small, cheap digital camera that produces average still
photos, marginally useful video and good sound capture... then this camera
may suit you.
Many other regular digital cameras in this price range have better digital
camera features (optical zoom, better lens) and can capture short movie
clips that are as good (or as bad) as this camera. They're probably a
better choice.

I bought this cam because i was going on vacation to florida, i'm
dissappointed with the quality the cam has, very poor, sometimes blurry,
doesnt matter what you do with the settings to change it still does the
same thing, as to the video quality it's just as poor, the zoom is bad too
cause when you zoom in to an object it becomes so dazzled that you can't
make out what it is. i will continue to look for a cam online.

I don't have the 202v, but I do have a similar DXG product. Please take a
look at my review for the DXG-305v.
Anyone interested in the DXG-202v is invited to join the new DXG-Digital

Not bad, for the price, October 18, 2005
Reviewer: William J. Plenge - See all my reviews
I was looking for a camera to use primarily as a web cam, occasional use
as a still camera and maybe to play around some with video. This camera
fit the bill well. Using a 75 watt full specturm light bulb as a light
source it works rather well as a web cam. It's 5x7 snapshot size stills
fit my needs well. It's video needs very good lighting and tends to "jump"
if you move quickly, but then my $300 VHS-C Camcoder suffered from the
same jumping effect.
My main complaints about the camera are lack of a tripod mount (I
purchased a tripod when I bought the camera and discovered I couldn't use
it) and the lack of an AC jack. I also agree with other reviews that the
battery doors is flimsy and require handling with care.
Pros: This is a lot of functions in a very compact package at a low price.
I wouldn't say it's for pros, but if you want a beginners camera or just
something to mess around with it's well worth the price.
