Pretty good camera for size.
For some time now, I have been wanting a light and easy-to-carry camcorder so I can record anything around me or take pictures. One of my local stores had this on sale in a bundle pack and I thought that it was a pretty good camera from looking at the specifications on the box. When I tried the camera out I liked the 720p HD video and the nice 8mp pictures but the big set back to the pictures was the objects had to be very still and the camera had to be very still. A lot of pictures turn out blurry due to movement on both sides. The camera does have a nice digital voice recorder built in and comes with its own 2GB SD card. The 2.4'' screen allows the user to see clearly the pictures or video taken. Another great aspect of the camera is the front USB and HD connections for direct connections to monitors or TVs.

very disappointed with this camera
I wish this product had more reviews to help me make a decision but since I couldn't find reviews of the DXH-579v anywhere I decided to buy it anyway. BIG MISTAKE.

1) ZOOM impossible to use smoothly. Doesn't matter how slow you're zooming it's all jittery.
2)Wind noise is unbearable and extremely loud. NOW I have to spend MORE money to buy a windcutter to stick on the mike just so I can use the darn thing.
3) No matter if you got the smooth hands of a sharp shooter your videos will jump all over the place since there's no image stabilizer.

Worse purchase I've made in a long time and I can't return it. :-(

And lastly, I've emailed DXG 5 times to get help regarding the wind issue and ZIP, NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING, no replies.

Stay away.
