It's my son's camera (he uses it for snowboarding) excellent crisp footage, I haven't tried it on the dog yet (got the harness for fathers day) if it's cool enough later, I'll try filming some stuff so you can see the film quality.
Also if you have a song smart phone you can watch live footage as it's happening instead of downloading to your laptop.
It's got a 16MB chip in it that give u about 2.5 hours of filming or 2550 pictures, so if you want more a 32 or 64MB would be recommended. .
