Comments about ION Twin Video Dual Lens Handheld Video Camera:
Great camera too expensive
This is a great little dual lense camera, this camera do not offer a lot of features other than the dual lense... but is extremelly overpriced here. Do your research and you will pay less than 3 times the price for a new one
A bit flimsy, not very sturdy
Too expensive for what it offers
Comments about ION Twin Video Dual Lens Handheld Video Camera:
Works well. Easy to use. Very adaptable.
Seems well-made. Will have to wait to see how durable it is.
Great value for the money.
Comments about ION Twin Video Dual Lens Handheld Video Camera:
I really feel that good video quality would have made this thing useful as a regular video camera (it would easily trump a Flip), therefore, it missed the mark.
This little toy is highly specialized. It has a forward lens, a rear lens, and a teethered switch to toggle between the two. It also comes with an adapter to make a tripod out of a microphone stand. it uses USB to recharge the included battery. (I have not tested the battery life) I will use it in a 5th grade classroom for kids to do interviews (interviewer <click> interviewee with no video edits necessary!)
The unit quality is average. The video quality is poor.
I bought it as a "Stupid Deal". If I needed one enough to pay the regular price, I would not be happy.
Comments about ION Twin Video Dual Lens Handheld Video Camera:
You should not have to pay much for this camera. Apparently, it can be sold for a very low price by reputable online stores, so why pay too much? You'll be very disappointed with this camera if you pay too much. I probably can't mention prices here, but consider that I ended up buying 2 of these due to defects in each that I could work around, but in the end, I just kept both since they were so cheap and just having the spare battery and accessories was worth keeping both.
Features are adequate. The dual lens makes this camera unique and is the only reason to purchase it should you need this feature. There are no other outstanding features offered by this camera. Rolling shutter generates videos of cell phone quality.
I've had my hands on 3 of these cameras. The first one had a piece of debris inside the lens area that showed up as a black spot on videos and pictures. I set up an RMA to send it back, but before I sent it back, I dropped the camera on the carpet which dislodged the dirt in the lens, but I sent it back anyway thinking that it could come back again. Well, the replacement camera had an issue with the playback mode in that it would stop and start videos randomly. It also once created a corrupted file on a SD card when shooting a long video. I set up another RMA to return the camera but had the new camera sent to me before sending back the old one so I could just figure out which of the two cameras worked the best and send back the other. Well, each one had quirks, so in the end, I just kept both so between the two cameras, all features work. Sounds strange, but that's the way it worked out.
I am giving this a low rating primarily due to the price it is selling for on MF. Even as a special promo on MF, it is more than twice what I paid for it at another popular and reputable online site. If you want to buy this camera, don't pay very much for it and you might be happy with what it does for the price. Please, do not pay too much for this camera. The price I see it for now is ludicrous.

Good for internet video only.
I am in no way a video snob. If something works well I will be the first to praise it. This isn't one of those times. The concept of this video camera is excellent. The ease of use is a 10. The download ability is also very good. So what's wrong? Well the video may look great on the small screen of the ION camera but once it is full size on a 19 inch (or better) computer screen you will be shocked at how distorted and fuzzy it looks. It is ok for a quick low quality YouTube video but if your are buying this for just about any other reason, save you money. I still own this camera and am about to sell it on Ebay. Within a few weeks of buying the ION I bought a Cisco Flip camera that is HD quality for less than the price of this ION (even on sale) and it shoots excellent quality video. The Flip is high quality HD video with a built in USB that goes directly into the computer and provides editing software that automatically loads from the camera itself on any computer it is plugged in to that is extremely easy to use. The bottom line is this ION is only good for low quality web videos not something you want to keep like personal family videos or anything important. Either my camera is defective somehow (I doubt it) it is just a toy. Sorry, that's the truth.
If it shot clear video it would be great. A great package that can't deliver a good video.

I haven't had tis camera long, but so far it is really neat. It is EXTREMELY lightweight. It comes with a handle that screws into the tripod hole for more stability, it also comes with a wrist band, case, USB cord, and a "you/me" cord button. I got is as the "stupid deal of the day" and it is really good for the price so far.
