That is the one I bought (v3) and working perfectly I might add although it's currently on loan to a friend

Well I've just received mine today through the post and it only took around 7 days to arrive after first ordering which was a nice suprise as I was expecting to wait a month! First inspection of the camera its even smaller than I first originally thought! It looks like it works ok as it turns on & off but I have yet to test it out properly as I have got to find a spare SD card at home!

Sometimes you can get lucky with HK deliveries. The quickest i've had something arrive is 3 days but sometimes had to wait around a month.
Also, you will be needing a micro SD(SDHC) card for it. If you need a reader, poundland sell them; i think they are about a pound
Well just got round to having a good play with the camera after having to borrow my mum's micro SD card lol and its an absolutely cracking camera for how stupidly small and cheap it was, the picture quality even though its 720 is absolutely excellent, very clear and the frames are very good too. The sound is very clear as well but as others have said on here, the microphone is very sensitive and when you walk around with it your finger movements and the key ring jingleing can sometimes over power the sound but overwise the sound is still crisp clear.
The only hard part that I found to get on with the camera is trying to remove the flipping micro sd card. Even with my nail pressed into the card so it clicks out it would just not click at all, I ended up having to get my debit card and once I pressed the card in with that it finally came out but I just suppose this because how slim the micro SD card is. Really need to get myself my own micro SD card at some point (I used to have like 3 of them a while ago, who knows where they disappeared to), anyway the camera is well worth the £6.50 or whatever is was - get one!

Hi
Any of you guys had a problem when charging it up. Mine now just has a slow flashing light and it wont turn on. I have hit the reset button but with no luck
Ive had this when the battery is totally flat.. it shows a slow flashing light whilst charging for about a minute or so and then goes to a steady light and charges fine.
Hi
Mine has been on charge for about 1 hour now and its still flashing.
According to some paperwork i had with one of my camera's the slow flashing light means low charge (not enough power getting to the camera to charge it). You try another usb cable.
Thanks
I will get hold of another cable and try that. Not sure where i will get one from. All the cables i have here dont fit it I must have about 20 of them and there all the wrong ones

Just bought one for £7.18. This will be fun to mess around with.

Yeah mine does that. Seems to be when there is a loudish noise, it'll just go quiet then go back to normal after a few seconds. Probably some sort of crappy noise levelling system.
