You don't want a video camera with loadsa buttons, baffling menus and an instruction manual thicker than a Big Brother housemate, do you? No, you want a point and shoot machine that allows you to create home movies and upload them to your computer in a flash.

Busbi Video Digital Camera

The idiot-proof Busbi
Digital Camcorder

Well snap your clapperboard and say 'love your work baby' to the idiot-proof Busbi Digital Camcorder. This simple but supremely effective little gizmo is ideal for capturing...well, anything you fancy: your best mate 'admiring' his freshly shaven eyebrows and felt-penned mustache, vids of the kids, holiday high jinks, chicken oriental nights out, or Tarantino-esque clips of Barbie bashing up Action Man.

Busbi has just 4 buttons: On/Off, Delete, Playback
and Record



Slimmer than a dieting supermodel, the battery-operated Busbi has just 4 buttons: On/Off, Delete, Playback and Record. Even your gramma could use it (once you've told her it's a camera, not a newfangled remote for her heated rollers). A 2" LCD screen means you can inspect your filmic masterpieces immediately and the nifty playback mode allows you to view/delete the last video captured. If you want to watch all the videos captured, simply USB the Busbi into your computer. You can even hook it up to the telly using the included AV cable.

Easy to connect

Talking of computers, the Busbi's easy peasy editing software means social networkers and YouTubers can upload vids to the web in seconds. So next time you decide to film one of your mates falling off his skateboard with a firework stuck somewhere silly, you can share it with the world in seconds. You can even add special FX. And to think someone once said the internet was good for nothing.

Busbi Video Digital Camera

Insert your SD card

The head-scratchingly inexpensive Busbi comes with a 1GB SD card, giving around 60 minutes recording time, but for truly epic nights out you can upgrade to a 2GB card. Quite what you're going to capture over the course of 2 hours is enough to boggle the mind. But don't waste time rubbing your hands together in gleeful anticipation, get ordering and start Busbi-ing away for real. And...cut!

Finny, Malvern - Mar '09
visitor avatar Really easy to use, easy to get videos onto youtube.
Sam Brown, Dumfries - Aug '08
visitor avatar Sorry this isn't a review-what does it mean when it says 'EU Only' as you go through to buy it? I really want to get it for my brother as he's going travelling but he won't be in the EU-does this matter? Thanks for your help!
Emma, Essex - Sep '09
Firebox says: You can use it anywhere Emma! EU-Only just means we can only deliver the item to countries within the EU.

visitor avatar Wondering what the focal focus range is, or if it is fixed focus point.
Rob, Dublin - Sep '09
Firebox says: Its fixed, Rob.

visitor avatar Question: Is this Mac compatible? I presume you can copy clips via USB into iMovie?
Dan Thomas, Suffolk - Jun '09
Firebox says: Hi Dan. Not officially, the Busbi is not supported on a macs. However it is recognised as a usb mass storage device, but to play the AVI files you need to download quicktime player from mac.

visitor avatar Sorry not a review. But what does it mean by special fx. Could you elaborate/tell me what they are.
Shaw Rayment, Upminster - May '09
Firebox says: The Busbi comes with Arcsoft editing studio - check out http://www.arcsoft.com/products/videoimpression for more details...

visitor avatar And can you take single photos? Or is it just film?
Joely Mole, Milky Way - Feb '09
Firebox says: Film only Joely, hope this helps!

visitor avatar Can you pause the recording? or do you have to stop it and start again? It would be a problem putting 2 files together but I just wanted to know.
Joely Mole, Milky Way - Feb '09
Firebox says: We're afraid you can only start and stop recording.

visitor avatar Does it record sound?
Andy, Romford, England - Feb '09
Firebox says: Yep!
