Slashdot | Pros | Cons |
| Light | Feels too Plastic |
| Comes with MP3 Player Function | Music playback sounds flat and analogue |
| Easily available power source (AA battery) | Video would be better if it’s encoded using MPEG or MP4 rather than AVI. A 21 second high resolution video and audio is around 4MB of file size |
| Cheap | Enlarging picture will compromise on the sharpness |
| Doesn’t require wait-time to do self portraits. The remote controller can be used to do instant picture taking | |
| User friendly menu. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use | |
| Big TFT LCD for preview (2.4”) | |
| Small. About the same size as an adult’s palm |
The DigiLife DDV-C330 is a jack-of-all-trade product, especially suited for the convenience of travellers and during your leisure excursions, particularly when you want to travel really light. Being a master-of-none, one may want to reconsider using it for specialized tasks. Music playback is not fantastic, so if this area is really important to a user, he/she may be better-off with a simple MP3 player. However, the appeal it exudes is the fact that all these functions are thrown into a small device with a small price tag of USD$120 (SGD$200). This is the beauty of the product and it cores really high when you talk about bang-for-buck. Even for one such as myself who has specialized products for each functions, I would really be attracted to add this to my list because I believe there will be times when I just want to travel light and focus on enjoying myself rather than my bulky and heavy equipment slung over my back
