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.

sequester1111 on anko Kids Camcorder 1080p - Blue or Pink $17 + Delivery ($0 OnePass/ C&C/ in-Store/ $65 Order) @ Kmart
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.
