Camera blurs focus all the time!

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: You can't record over anything. Videos are easy to find (organized by date).

Cons: The 1-2 second blurs that occur as frequently as every few seconds.

Bottom Line:

My camera blurs frequently, possibly a fluke. Otherwise, a great video camera. Internal drive means no recording over vidoes. Check yours thoroughly ASAP when you buy it!
