Aldi have a Traveler 5MP HD digital video camera on offer for £69.99 in their 'Sunday Special Buy Day' this w/e. Anyone familiar with this brand? Is it worth getting? ( http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2867_6021.htm )

    My daughter had a Traveller for a while. It produced good pictures, but battery life was poor, I don't know if this has been improved.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I bought one today, for the money it is ok, filming indoors its a bit grainy but outside its very good, although it is advertised as being HD it is only HD in terms of them image size NOT in terms of quality, by pressing the HD button you don't suddenly get a beautiful picture, you just get a bigger version of the standard setting.

    I got a 4gb SD card for it and its good for 1800 stills or 2hrs of video at full res, as I said before its good for the money but don't expect fantastic quality video, if you do you'll be disapointed, but as for value for money it is very good.

    I was thinking about buying one as a few months ago i saw a similar one on QVC for £100=00
    So how do they get away with advertising something as HD when it isn't??:confused:
