Evaluation
We all know what it is like to see a great moment unfolding before our eyes and trying desperately to get our camera or smartphone into the action so we can a shot. The Ion Snap Cam eliminates those missed opportunities by allowing you to wear the camera on your shirt, jacket or even hat with a magnetic clip. The size of the unit makes it very wearable and even more discreet. To use you simply tap the unit once for the 8 megapixel camera to snap a still shot or tap it twice to start a video of the action. You can also sync the unit to your smartphone in order to share the photos instantly with friend or family member.The memory unit inside has enough room to store up to 2.5 hours of 720p video or store up to 5000 and has a slot for an MicroSD card as well. The one second boot up time means that you will never again miss that shot that happens in an instant.
Final Ion Snap Cam Review
We love the idea and the features included in the Ion Snap Cam and think that this will change the way people take photographs the same way that GoPro did for do it yourself sports photography. The concept is a very clever one and the unit is designed with everything you need to start taking pics right out of the box. The resolution is decent enough at 8 megapixels and H.D 720p video for even the most discerning photographer to give this baby a try. We are committed to give this a thumbs up.
Our Recommendation
We think this is a great product that many people will absolutely love to have. For anyone who likes to capture those fleeting moments this is the product for you.If you are becoming somewhat of a camera buff then another interesting one you may want to take a look at is the Pocket Cam.
I purchased three SnapCam less than one year ago. I reviewed the video on and off of each position and the video was fine. At the most Inopportune time one went bad and would rewrite over the last video with only one video on the camera. This happened during a breakin attempt at my house. The camera does not begin taking video at the first sign of movement but takes minutes after movement.
I would not purchase another.
