I bought 2 of these from a sale about a week ago. Please be aware that the cameras ship without a Micro SD card, without one you can not save any video or photos. HQ is only 640 x480 (VGA quality), so don't expect too much. I was able to find 4GB Micro SD card with an SD adapter at local Walmart for $10 (cheaper ones can be found online), so if buying, please factor this into the cost. The included USB 2.0 kit has four different adapters to fit various devices, so it could be very useful, but if you get a Micro SD card with an SD adapter and have a built in SD card reader on your laptop or PC, you won't even need the USB cable, just take the card out and insert in your PC.

As other poster noted, the link in the on the printed pamphlet for the software download is not working, but you won't need it.

I would say these are only useful for young kids who don't have cell phones with cameras, today most cell phones have better cameras than this device. Enterprising young kids could have a lot of fun making movies with one of these and Windows Movie Maker. For under $30 including Micro SD card, you won't get upset if the kids break it!

You can download the following

Firmware Update/Restore Utility
Memory Manager Software Download

http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads/

I think the original ones shipped with 2gb microSD cards so you may not be limited to 16gb

This "bonus" software DVD includes multiple titles specifically for the purpose of advanced "Photo" editing and printing. The installation and use of these software titles is optional. It is not necessary to use these applications to view, edit, or share your Small Wonder camcorder's videos/photos. The built-in Memory Manager™ software (a separate RCA software application which installs from the camcorder's memory card) is provided for the purpose of viewing, editing, and sharing your Small Wonder camcorder's videos/photos. Before Using: Please check your system specifications to ensure that your computer meets the following minimum system requirements.

Windows XP/Vista (not compatible with MAC)
Internet Explorer 6.0, Firefox 1.5 or later
800 MB of free hard disk space
DVD drive
512MB RAM

RCA's customer phone support is available at (800) 290-6650 (maybe)
