Customer Review: Good until Firmware update
Summary: 1 Stars
So I just got this free through a promotion. I opened it up and messed with it for a few minutes took a couple photos and short videos. Everything was functioning normally. I then connected it to my computer to install the software. I installed the Memory Manager software and there was an updates button after the memory manager program was launched so I figured I would make sure if there was any updates that I would take care of it right away. So it checks for updates shows there is a firmware update. So I clicked to download it and a minute later went about trying to complete the update. A separate box came up advising to backup any files before continuing. The video and photos I just took were not anything important but I saved them to my computer anyway. I followed through the rest of the instructions which told me to then disconnect the camcorder from the computer, power it on, and follow the instructions on the screen. I did this and after confirming on the camcorder to install the firmware update it displayed processing on the screen for about 5 seconds and the screen turned off. I waited and nothing else happened I tried pushing buttons to see if the display would light back up and nothing. The box on the screen had a button that says click here when you finish these steps. So I did and the box went away and nothing else on my computer displayed. So I powered the camcorder back on and it lit up but the screen remained blank so I connected it back to the computer hoping something else would happen to complete the update and nothing. I tried pressing buttons turning it on and off but nothing would get the camcorder to function. I looked through the user manual for any answers and then the website which offered a link for firmware/restore. I downloaded it and tried to use it but it said I needed to connect the camcorder to my computer even though it already was. So I uninstalled the memory manager software and restarted my computer. I connected the camcorder to the computer again and the computer recognizes it being plugged in and allows me to open the folder for the device which shows the pictures and videos I had taken earlier and the installer for the software which I tried to install again. But it wouldn't allow it to work because it kept prompting me to connect the camcorder. I tried the link for the firmware/restore from the website again and it also states to connect the RCA camcorder. I searched the FAQ's and knowledge base more for an answer but couldn't find any so I submitted an incident report which is the only way to get any additional support and that generated an email response that I would get a response within 72 business hours. So we will see what happens when their tech support responds. I then showed my wife my non-functioning camcorder after submitting my request for support. She pushed several buttons at once and got the display to function again. But the quality of it was horrible there was all these colored dots appearing all over. I powered it off and turned it back on and couldn't get it to work again. I tried several times of pushing multiple buttons at once and finally got it to work. I then tried taking video and pictures with a micro SD card in it and then removed it to view and the weirdness from the display was even worse on the actual video when viewed on my computer. I then tried after this to see if the software would recognize the camcorder and it will not and the only way to get the camcorder to work is mashing buttons multiple times and hoping it will start functioning but the quality it provides is horrible. I still have the first videos I took before doing the firmware update and those were low quality but were still decent. The video now makes the camcorder pretty useless. If that is the quality I will get I have no reason to even try to use it. I only hope that there will be some way to restore it back to the factory settings and then it seems like this will be a decent camcorder. If you get this camcorder I would advise DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE.
