Yikes, yeah, the hate seemed to disconnect me from the video a little. Imagine if you're shit-poor and want to record something, it is almost exactly like a reusable disposable camera you can get at some drug stores for a few dollars but does video instead. I mean it is not marketted as HD, and camcorders aren't the most stunning in the first place until lately but they are quite pricey, so why bash it? It's just a little slow on the times, better than some stuff back then surely, but I'd argue it'd just add plastic to the landfill being disposable.
Imagine guy spends $7, records war crimes happening in his country. Things being done to forests. A father showing something interesting to his son about where he works. Who knows. Maybe not a device for "our" countries.
