Into the big world of small gadgets, Veho come bearing their new Muvi Micro DV Camcorder. A minuscule 55mm from tip to toe, this bewilderingly petite device claims to be "officially the smallest high resolution DV camcorder in the world." In an era of the ubiquitous camera there's an awful lot of competition. Have Veho set their sights too high endeavouring to cram convenience and quality into such a small package? It's certainly rare to find both in one place. For the last week the Muvi Micro DV Camcorder has been put through its paces, and now the time has come for me to unveil my impressions.
When it is switched on, the Veho Muvi Micro DV will start recording when it detects any noise above 65dB, so you can start recording simply by talking to it, leaving your hands free to carry on scaling Everest or cycling through a ravine undisturbed. It worked well in our tests, which admittedly weren't on the planet's biggest mountain.
Like most entry-level pocket cams, clips are recorded in AVI format at 640 x 480. Battery life is pegged at three hours, though the supplied 2GB microSD card will fill up in about half that.
Performance-wise, we thought the Veho Muvi Micro DV's size would inevitably mean sub-standard video quality, but in fairness our outdoor clips came out well balanced and detailed given the resolution. Low light performance was decent too, though it did struggle switching between them – such as when cycling through trees. Sound quality is acceptable too, but it's easy to block the microphone accidentally.
