Perfect Vacation Camera
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 2, 2004Got it for vacation flicks. Don't expect it to be "super" great at night. Perfect for everyday home/vacation use.
This camera sucks!!/ don't be a fool with Elura 50
(1 out of 5) by Joyson D. Pekkattil on Apr 1, 2005I bought this camera as my first ever own camcorder! I felt love with this when I saw it first time. It is so small and very cute. I bought this from best buy for $750. I used it for one trip and by the end of the trip it alraedy showed some bad pictures. Remember everything is new. Then onwards everything started. it says head is dirty, so I bought a head cleaner , but no use. then I was frustrated and then just kept at home. Then next time when I used as miracle everything is fine. Next time I cannot even focus it? can you belive it? It is been with me for 1.5 years and I used it 4 times and not working any more!!Your $750 long term investment!!!!!! They don't even have people to repair it. You have to mail it somewhere and they will tell you how much it will cost to you and you can decide you want to repair it or not?Otherwise they will send it back to you. Customer service?
Camera Broke after 1 Year
(2 out of 5) by Gavin Dent on Feb 16, 2005Just after the warranty expired the CCD electronics failed on my camera redering it useless. Given all the other complaints on Amazon re: this model of camera I would advise against buying it as it appears to be unreliable.

Great SMALL Camcorder
(5 out of 5) by Anthony Ianniciello on Dec 30, 2003 (Seattle, WA USA)If you want small you really can't do better for the price than the Elura 50. The picture quality is not as high as the larger camcorders on the market such as the Sony TRV series, but the Elura is 1/2 the size of those cameras. Easily fits in a small purse or bag and even in a larger pants pocket. This camcorder is the same size as our Canon G2 still digital. Connects perfectly with iMovie and does a great job of taking movies. I have used both this and the Sony TRV22, the Sony takes about a 20% better low light image, but like I said is twice the size.
