Low price and high quality in an easy-to-use package: that's the Sharp VL-E680U Viewcam. This is a perfect 8mm camera for the beginner, someone on a tight budget, or if you plan only limited use. With all the controls located on the back, operating the camera is intuitive. The VL-E680U is well made and ergonomic in its construction, and the battery will deliver up to 95 minutes continuous recording. Images from the 16X optical zoom/64X digital zoom are sharp when viewed in the bright, generously proportioned three-inch color LCD screen, which is one of the camera's best features. The LCD screen is specially designed to resist fingerprints. It is coated with a low-reflectivity resin to reduce glare outdoors on sunny days when the brightness causes the LCD to fade slightly. ??The camera produces crystal-clear colorful images, and the freeze frame is crisp.

Author's Review
I am the camcorder person in our family. I like to sneak around and catch real life events. This camera allows me to turn it on while it sits on the counter and view what is being taped from a distance because of the large screen.
I love the 64X zoom! I have often been in the back row while my children performed on stage and had a crystal clear view of everything! Sometimes we use it to watch the deer that are acres away from out our back window. Even through the glass the picture is excellent.
This camera has many nice features, all of which are easy to figure out without being a genious. Our favorite one is that the screen is able to be flipped over so the crowd can see themselves being taped. Bad thing is when you do this, they are actually being taped upside down. The kids don't seem to mind this at all. They just love to see themselves on the screen!
The only thing that I haven't liked is the battery. It seems to use up a charge within about 90 minutes. But, I can live with it.
