Solved

Hello,
the function of the digico: camcorder, digital camera, dictaphone, MP3 player, motion detector, and webcam.
I received it with software to encode movies from MP3 format to MP4 format, USB 2 cable, dock, charger, remote control, and headphones.
I am satisfied with my purchase; the charger’s battery life is remarkable, however regarding the 16 MP, I think we are far from it, rather 8 MP. In the end, I am happy because for the price of £123 on eBay, I think the quality-price ratio is not bad.

Hello,
I'm a bit disappointed with the zoom too, because from 1.0 to 4.0 it's the optical zoom that isn't great, then from 4.0 to 8.0 it's the digital zoom that takes over, and you can really see the difference.
As for the battery, when I received it, I let the battery completely drain and I left it to charge for 2 hours, which was enough because it's been 2 weeks since I plugged it in, all depending on the usage? But I believe the charging bar is a bit fictitious. On the other hand, I haven't tested it as a webcam since I already have one and I had already set mine up.

Good evening
I also purchased this camera, I'm a bit disappointed with the zoom, but I have a problem because how do we know that the battery is charged? And also when I connect the camera to my PC, it doesn't recognize it.
Do you have a solution?
Best regards

Hello,

I just acquired a Digico HD 18, and overall, it's very satisfying—videos are OK, photos are OK, but!!

How is it possible that there is a trial period for the webcam function, or have I not "gotten it" at all, or am I "CLUELESS"????????????

I don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone can enlighten me, I will be grateful!!

Best regards.

Yes, it is compatible with VISTA, I use it.
Have you not noticed the striking resemblance to the TOSHIBA CAMILEO? Is it a cheap DIGICO copy?
What do you think of the device? I can only play some MP3s (about 1/4), do you have a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Alex

PS: There is no optical zoom, it's a digital zoom x8

Yes, thank you, I received the Digico HD 18! ...oh yes, it's almost an exact copy!! It's a Digico copy that's why we pay less... I think it's a good device, I need to look more closely at the software to upload my music.. I have a comment to make when I take photos they look nice but when I put them on the computer they become distorted (we have big heads) lol so I don’t know if I need to change a format but since I need to look more closely at all that... because I haven't had the time, that's it, if there are any updates let me know...

I just acquired this little camcorder and indeed, for the photos transferred to the Vista computer, there is an issue as Windows Photo Gallery stretches the photos. The problem was resolved by using Apple’s Picture Viewer (among others)...

Hello, I'm taking the opportunity to have some Digico HD 18 users on hand to see if you recommend the purchase.
In particular, I would like to know what you think of the sound.
Indeed, on the DV 777, the sound is very metallic. What is it like on the HD 18?
Are the videos of good quality? And what is the real battery life?
I'm interested in this device to replace my Mini DV camcorder and 8MP digital camera; the other functions will not be used or used very little.
Thank you in advance for your comments, which I will consider for my purchase.

Hello, I am interested in buying a Digico HD 80, but can you tell me how long I can record with this camcorder and if, for the price, which camcorder I can refer to? Thank you for responding.

I don't see which camcorder is the HD 80.

Hello,
I would like to acquire this type of camera. The problem is that I'm torn between the DIGICO and the TEKXON on eBay...(in 16mp) Is it possible to listen to music through the speakers on the DIGICO? What about the night mode?
Thank you in advance for your responses!

So for "Yohan_san," no, I don't know where to find the HD 18 outside of the internet, but I do know that there's exactly the same one at Fnac, but the brand is Toshiba^^

And for "Swirl," with the HD 18, I believe it's not possible to listen to music through external speakers, but the integrated ones give quite a loud sound. And about the night mode, I don't know what you're talking about, but the flash is very good.
But I find that there are better photo devices... the photos for me on the computer get large and it's not pretty; I don’t know if it's my computer because I have Vista or if I poorly adjusted the device...
That's all for my opinion!
