False Advertising I'll Say like most others , This camera is a DV 179 says so on the box as well as the camera - I honestly cheched to see if it was mispackaged as another model because its not at all what it claims to be - There is No webcam so stop looking for it , As for the video - Avi Format instead of Mpeg 4 as it claims to be, The Stills are 5 MP. not 11MP. - and thats @ the highest resolution I guess I wasn't expecting much I got it on sale for $100 reg $250 but I Didn't even get the same product that was described on the box. I had it for 4 hrs and its going back to CRAPPY TIRE !!! where it came from

If you look at the outside of the LCD screen it should say the model number. You can use it as a webcam via msn messenger as I have used it before. You need to read the instruction manual in order to get it to work. It was a bit confusing to configure at first but it does work. As for the avi format, it will convert to the default that is based on your computer. For example if you use windows media player which for the most part defaults to avi format then that is what you will recieve. Using the software that came with the digital recorder will provide you with the necessary means to convert your videos to the mpeg4 format. As for the mega pixals, I know that the newer models that are now available have the 11 mega pixals.
