Versatile little thing
Great camera, has all the manual and automatic options I'm looking for. Only complaint is the touch screen isn't that sensitive if you're used to a smartphone. Have to press kinda hard. Otherwise, top notch camera that is TINY. Great value.
Camera takes excellent pictures in good light and pretty good ones in less favorable light. Battery life is pretty good, too, but I recommend a second battery. Video quality is good when there is adquate light and very good when there is ample light. Using the display screen as input takes a little getting used to compared to an iPhone, but works well. Definitely a good purchase for the amount spent.
Okay. I just bought this camera on Amazon. I bought this camera for one thing and that is just for the HD video shooting.
The reason why I bought it just for the video recording is because I want it to be compact so I can take it to concert without having to carry my camcorder.
The video records clear. Here a video that I recorded indoor at a restaurant next to Disneyland. The video quality indoor exceed my expectation for the camera of this size.
