FullPrice on anko Kids Camcorder 1080p - Blue or Pink $17 + Delivery ($0 OnePass/ C&C/ in-Store/ $65 Order) @ Kmart
The quality with moving subjects is very poor and that is in reasonable lighting, so yes, but you wouldn't want to.

iota on anko Kids Camcorder 1080p - Blue or Pink $17 + Delivery ($0 OnePass/ C&C/ in-Store/ $65 Order) @ Kmart
That is a nasty lens and there is heaps of tearing when panning. Even at the full price, this is about what I would expect.

Not sure about that. I assume this is old stock model, so is more likely to have older technology in it.

Prices actually appear to have gone up over that period of time, which really shouldn't be the case particularly with Windows 10 going EOL.

The N150 wins out on some transcoding that is done in the hardware, but otherwise the 9500 is going to be much better.

14" WUXGA (1920x1200) OLED 400nits Glossy, I was all excited when I saw 400nits, but "Glossy" kills it for me.
