Digital cameras forum: svp

Google does not find
Silicon Valley Peripheral

And I have never heard of a 10 megapixel digital camera.

Perhaps you can provide a link?

I looked again. It's on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30019&item=3856908194&rd=1 Just want to know if it's for real. Thanks for your response.

What you'll find is that there's another on the other end waiting for your bid..... then they suck you in and bid you up until the price you bid meets THEIR price. I got suckered in this way... and the price just happened to equal exactly what the cost was on the site... (except that the price was brought up to that level in part by the $35 in shipping. Pretty sneaky.) The company dodged and never answered my questions as to why the shipping price was that high when their site says they'd ship it for 9.99(not 35!)

How are you sending them back!?!?! I made the same mistake, fortunately only once. I am so sorry about that!!

If you're a good ebayer, I would contact ebay about the cameras. I'm so thankful I found this forum before I placed another bid on one of those...I then went to the Fuji (that I've bought before) and bought that one so glad I didn't fall for this seeming scam.

I got the svp camera from e-bay and i love it. camera work like a dream. I have no problem with the camera. It's a 7515 model. I first saw the camera on e-bay on paid for it. Then i when on cnet a few day later to see what people think of the camera. I was think did i buy the wrong camera. i try to stop the payment but it was to late. but when the camera came. i love it. it was a like size camera and the picture quality it great. you can even made video with the camera. WOW. i think it was a GREAT buy for me and my family. We take the camera on all the family trips and school plays. my son even took it with him on japan. He loved the camera and got one for himself after on e-bay. So to the people at SVP and e-bay good job.

wow i cant believe all the people on this forum bad mouthing things that they dont know about.. in all honesty how many people have even baught a svp product. I got a $120 digital camera at futureshop and took crap pictures so i took it back. I spent the same amount on an svp and it takes much better pictures. who care!!! even if there is a "bad" name behind it or even if there are lies being told about how great it is, the point is for somthing of that price will get worse. lets see i can by some piece of crap name brand camera that takes worse pictures or for the same price i can buy a not so well rated camera and get better pictures. sure, i bet many of you haters are going to say im employee or, you cant trust this person because look at how they just rejesterd to leave this message. well I just signed up to leave this message is true because I was reading these and was filled with rage. Seriously you can look at the 20 people on here that are upset or you can look at the 4000 people on ebay that are happy. but you know... if you have nothing better to do then sit around and talk poorly about someone and somthing else and make up the most rediculous internet lingo like " a shill" then by all means go on with it. If your considering buying an svp camera go for it! they are cheap in price and great to play around with without having to spend alot of cash.NO im not going to reply to this because i have better things to do, like actually being happy with what i have. So try all you like to say im ignorant and everytying else but know that i wont read it because well... I really dont care

When you go to store and by something and after some time dont like or has to return do you ask them to pay your gas for car (same as you want S/H to be paid back)?????

I am having the same problems, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out and share any information you get with me.

since 3 or 4 megapixel pictures are pretty high qulity, most people won't know that the camera that they have is not actualy 12 MP but in fact 3 or mabe 4 MP. SVP and Gigxon sell fraudulent-quality cameras. These cameras aren't found in stores for a reason.

Here is a link to the SVP website.

http://www.svp-tech.com/12p/dv12p.htm

Notice the top line says CMOS sensor - 3MB

It is repeated again further down in the specifications.

The sensor determines the actual megapixels for a camera. They state (in the specifications) that it is 12 megapixels by interpolation. But if the sensor is 3 megapixel.....the camera is 3 megapixel.

Interpolation is nothing more than making a photo larger using software or firmware.
Interpolation will result in a degraded image.

..............

They can argue that it is not fraudulent advertising because the real CMOS sensor size is stated in the specifications.

But it is .... intentional misleading advertising.

None of the major camera makers use this type of advertising.

You aren't understanding what is going on... your company sells misleading cameras and camcorders and you have mislead the public by stating on your web site that you are using teh best technology and that u r working with major name brand camera and camcorder companies, wich is a lie. NO big, good company would EVER have anything to do with you. Don't try to fix something of this magnitute. Your company is already going to be under investigation from the Better Business Bureau. Enjoy your job while u have it.

This SVP CDC8610 is by far the best camera I ever used. It is so clear and the speed is so fast. I compare it with other brands like Kodak and Sony, they worth twice as more and not as good.
