Groupon deal-sports cam £14.99. Worth a punt

[400bhp]

I thought some of the fellow commuters might be interested/have an opinion on today's Groupon deal. Is it worth a punt?

Not with the postage. It's the Muvi/MD80 clone. Cheap as chips on ebay. Must be more upto date cheapo camera's now, as this is a couple of years old

Cheers-won't bother then.

Don't bother with anything Groupon. It's a massive con on consumers, retailers, service providers and indeed their own shareholders - recently floated with a valuation of $7bn despite not having turned a profit. Dot com bubble anyone?

In what way is it a con?

I used my MD80 clone about 3 times before I got a 7DayShop torch camera which is much easier to use. There's a slightly more waterproof version of that now - albeit at twice the price.

Agree with Jezston - regardin Groupon, if it's too good to be true, it is.
I seem to read stories on a daily basis at the minute where people have trouble obtaining/redeeming the vouchers, buy them, then find the service they want is much reduced/no longer obtainable, and just feel ripped off.
I'm steering clear.

I have that camera clone - Complete piece of tat. Got it off eBay for £7. I expected it to be poor resolution and sound quality, but not completely (And permanently) out of focus!
