This is the best cam I've ever used zoom in great picture perfect easy to use just the right size great functionality

Bought to record musical practice sessions for later review. Sound isn't too bad, sufficient for the purpose. The remote is a little confusing to use, but works. The on-camera controls are great, and the flippable monitor screen is very handy, no more left handed cell phone videos that made studying my playing awkward.

Es fácil de usar, pero la calidad dentro de no es la mejor perfecto para grabar cosas cortas

These cameras are JUNK. Doesn't record long and gets overheated easily. The only good thing is the night vision and such. When I last used it, I went to flip the viewer and it was upside down! So the entire time my video footage was UPSIDE DOWN! SERIOUSLY?! The batteries only last 10 minutes before needing recharged.

I bought this mainly for night vision and its not that great. Other than that its ok. But wanted to be able to record sea turtles at night from a distance in dark and you have to be withing 2 feet or so for night vision to work/video in dark.

Such an amazing and affordable camcorder. I love how it gives a vintage outlook and what I mean by that, is that it displays the time and date in the upper left corner. Image and sound are clear. Doesn't take up room. Has four different video settings, normal, fast, slow, and tbh I forgot the last one. Overall great, would def recommend if your using for trips and if you just want to capture some small memories.

I purchased this for a classroom based research study and selected this model in large part due to the remote as I wanted to be able to sit away from the camera but start/stop as needed. As a much cheaper model than others, in hindsight, I probably should have bought something else, as this has been really frustrating to use for the issues I'll describe below.The video quality has worked well in various lighting - (I have not used it at night.)The audio quality has been hit or miss. It often picked up nearby audio of student shuffling (muffling the louder teacher-student talk), but couldn't record student comments from across the room.Major issues:My new larger SD card reformatted the camera so that it now records upside down. Perhaps this is an easy fix, but I am still struggling to correct it within the camera. I have just edited the file after upload. The camera also only records in <15 minute intervals, so you'll have to upload and merge files and the battery life generally only lasted one hour for me. (The description states a fully charged battery can last 90-150 minutes)I'll be reverting back to using an old DSLR camera for its better battery life and recording ability and just downgrading on the HD quality.

Nice hand held camera. Screen is very sensitive. Have to format SD card and it will not play any SD card not formatted to video camera. Picture quality is good. Night vision is good. Picture zoom is really good. I was glad to purchase this camera.
