Priced under £100, the G-Shot HD55 goes up against the likes of Flip's range and Creative's Vado. If you're shooting video destined for YouTube, these devices are a better option. They may not offer HD resolution, but they perform better in low light and make the upload process a doddle. Conversely, the cheapest standard definition big-name models have a lot more features, if not the raw pixel count. That said, the Genius G-Shot HD55 is about the cheapest HD-capable camcorder currently on the market, and its video quality is far from appalling. If you really are on a very limited budget, it would make a reasonable way to try your hand with video.

1.)does not have an external power source. you need battery every time. you can not use it without battery by plugging to the wall socket. no option provided for external power source.

2.)it can not be used to capture video to store directly to your PC. when you attach the USB cable, it only detects it as a storage device. NOT as a video capture device. therefore can’t be used as a video capture device

maybe you guys out there know something i don’t. would gladly learn from you.
