    Hey,
    I'm possibly buying this camcorder
    The problem is I've never heard of the brand, and don't know whether its trash, or a good camera for a beginner like me?
    any help is appreciated :)
    thanks.

    I've never heard of it, but I would go with the old adage, you get what you pay for.

    Look at the specs:
    It records on SD-cards in MPEG-4. Certainly not the best quality you can get.
    No optical zoom, only digital: not good.
    Technical details: brand new, high quality... LOL

    There are far to few technical details, porobably because they probably are not very good. Do yourself a favour, buy from a manufacturer that gives you decent info and support.
