Mediocre. Buggy.
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R127D9RXYCX5LY I shot a review of the camera using/demoing the camera's video mode.
After I turned off EIS (Image Stabilization) I shot the second half, and the zoom feature worked then.
After that, the unit froze and I had to temporarily remove the battery in order to reset it so I could upload the video.
Also, the .AVI files it creates aren't fully viewable in QuickTime on a Mac or PC. The files play fine in VLC on Mac or PC, but in QuickTime, there's no audio, in my experience.
It's sad that the camera, amazing as it is, is so frustratingly flawed.
This is my first video review. I know, it's not tightly edited. I'll aim higher next time.

Pinhole Camera

well, Look at the lens yourself. This uses a pinhole camera's lens which is very tiny. and I meant it, TINY!!!consider this similar to a low quality webcam. That is the quality you will get. look at the lens before you buy a camera. Conclusion: THIS IS GARBAGE!!!

You get what you pay for...
I purchased two of these camcorders for Christmas
based on reviews and ended up sending them both back!
The video quality was lousy both on the camera screen as well as through our TV. It reminded me of pictures from my old Instamatic camera from the 70's!
I would rather pay more for higher quality pictures and video.
Buyer Beware...the company will also charge you a restocking fee. There must be a lot of returns if they have to charge you for "taking so much of their time" to put it back on the shelf. Not worth it.

Save your money
I couldn't decide between the SVP T-200 and the Jazz Elite HDV-188, so I ended up buying both on eBay for and 5, respectively.
Pros:
The T-200 is much smaller than the Elite. I'm talking cell phone, drop it in your shirt pocket and forget it small.
I like the placement of the video and shutter buttons better vs the Elite.
Also, the screen can be opened and folded down flat for video playback. But that was it for pros over the Elite.
Cons:
The T-200 feels "sharp" in your hand as the edges are not as rounded and comfortable as the Elite.
The blue electronic "soft touch" buttons are too sensitive and too close together.
Battery life seemed much shorter than the Elite.
There's no LED on for video.
And I was annoyed by how the T-200 dumps video and still picture files onto the SD card together in the same folder, rather than separating them like the Elite.
In addition, there were quality and/or manufacturing issues with my T-200. The camera "locked up" on me several times. The first was when trying to connect to the camera in "mass storage device" mode in order to download files to the PC. If it was plugged in via USB, then turned on, it locked up with the welcome screen displayed, and would not turn off or respond until the battery was removed and replaced. I discovered that the only way to successfully connect was to turn the camera on first, then plug in the USB cable.
The camera also locked up once while recording with video stabilization turned on. Again, the only way to turn it off was to remove the battery.
Finally, I gave the camera to a friend, and before she even had a chance to try it out, it stopped working completely. It was functional when I gave it to her, and she insists it wasn't dropped or damaged. She returned it to me and I've confirmed that it no longer powers on at all. I've contacted the eBay seller for an RMA, and hopefully a replacement from the manufacturer.
My advice... Buy the Jazz Elite HDV-188.

Worst piece of garbage I have ever purchased!
Arrived to me with a faulty display/view screen. No phone number for Support or Customer Service. Had to RMA via E-mail. Received RMA product and it was completely DEAD (DOA)! I have since purchased a Sanyo VPC-HD100 and have been extreemly pleased! SVP makes nothing but junk!
