Was at Costco yesterday and saw a stack of hobby drones for sale for $199. The box said 720p resolution (1,280 X 720) video and it seemed to have a nice feature set. In the cart it went. Merry Christmas to me!!!
Unboxed it tonight and saw that where, on the box, there was a larger video camera with a glass lens, the camera on the unit was a pinhole camera and the actual resolution was 640 X 480. Saw also that the same drone was on sale at Amazon for $100 and that the reviews were generally pretty poor. Boxed it back up and will be returning it to Costco later this week. Someone there royally screwed up.
Back to "Plan A" which is to build a larger hexacopter this summer...
