I bought my JAZZ DV 151 from Big Lots for $28 on one of their sales initially to create a 60 second video to submit to the Island Reef Job in Austrailia.  What I discovered is this thing sucks through it's AA batteries in less than 30 minutes of use which is ridiculous.  I even tried using Lithium batteries and it sucked through that more quickly than the regular batteries.  So I only recommend this product if you can buy it for $5 or less and have Re-chargeable AA batteries, which I have NOT tried yet myself but suspect may work better with this product.  Don't expect to be able to record anything in High Resolution Setting longer than 10 minutes using a 2GB SD Card, haven't tried the low Resolution setting but suspect the quality would be so bad it wouldn't be worth shooting in Low setting with todays HD technology.  Videos record in AVI format which is VERY Memory intensive, thus poor use of SD Memory card.  Supposed Max Memory Card size you can use with this Product Model is 4GB.  Bottom line: pay the extra to buy something better, I'm considering trying to sell this on Craigslist or take it back to Big Lots or something.
