Customer Rating: - Digital Blue American Idol Digital Camcorder - 510
The camera works great. My daughter really enjoyed it. The one complaint I have is there is no easy way to contact their tech support for assistance because the CD that came with it does not install the driver fort he camcorder correctly. Luckily my daughter had a friend who purchased this same camcorder about 8 months prior and the CD that came with it had an earlier software version and driver and we were able to complete the installation.

Customer Rating: - Digital Idol camcorder
This is a fun gadget for the kids. However, it did not come with any instructions. If my boys (ages 9 and 12) hadn't used the device at the science museum movie camp this summer we never would have figured out how to use it. (Plus my husband is a software developer. That helped too).

The boys made stop-gap animation movies using their matchbox cars. The quality is decent for what we paid for it.

Customer Rating: - Item was never shipped because it was unanavailable, but billed to my account
I ordered this item on 12-16-2005. I was informed by Alhambrabooks on 12-21-2005 that this item was unavailable, would not be shipped and that my account would be credited. To date, 1-20-2006, a month later, the charge remains on my account and has not been credited as promised. This does not seem like a very good business practice. Please credit my account immediately for an item that was never shipped from this source.

Customer Rating: - Its is the same thing
The Amercian Idol video maker is the same thing as digital blue only with different software and a microphone. And since it is made by the same company as Digital Blue, how could that be unlawful. It is a brilliant marketing scheme from the manufacturer to sell all the leftover models from last year with a new logo and and additional features, that make kids ask for it for xmas.
