it has everything I want, good video mode, 10 MP and SDHC slot but I never heard of SVP..did a search for reviews of the camera and found nothing, I had a Casio as my last camera but the lens is stuck halfway between opening/closing

all I need in a digital camera is one takes SDHC cards, takes good pics and has a camera mode

thank you

No, never heard of them before.

Ya me either never heard of it before. But it looks like another generic camera to me. Almost all major camera brands have a similar camera with these specs. My mom loves these kinds of cam's, easy to use and multi function. Good luck

Two things come to mind. First is that you get what you pay for. Second is that if it is being sold by overstock.com where do you get your warranty from?
I did find one old review that referred to them as junk and many being sold on ebay.

to be blunt, do not buy this camera. i wouldn't even think of it. you can get a low end to mid-range point and shoot from ANY major camera manufacturer for the same price. even on the ads on the side of the page that this SVP camera is on, there's a canon A480 for $167, and a cheap kodak for $141.

and i've never heard of a camera that comes with less than a 1 year manufacturer warranty. this SVT camera has only 6 months. that's not a good sign.

i work in a camera store and every camera around $175 (we only sell major brands) has the same, if not better specs. i would definitely recommend sticking to a known and trusted brand.

i think any point and shoot over $50 can take video, the majority of them also take SDHC cards (except for sony and some olympus cameras, as far as i know. some cameras that are even 1 year old can't take SDHC, but only SD). and i'm pretty sure that any big brand camera of similar cost wouldn't take worse pics than this SVT. maybe the same, but not worse.

i'm not trying to be a d**k, but in all honesty, i'm am 99% sure you would be happier with a canon, nikon, fuji, panasonic, kodak, polaroid, olympus, or samsung that cost around $175 than you would be with the SVT XthinnA. (i didn't mention sony because they only take memory stick cards).

thanks for everyone's help, I did some research and went with the Casio Exilim EX-S12 for $200 shipped, i had a Casio as my last camera but the lens got stuck while opening it

that was a good call. avoiding no-name brand electronics is always a good call.
