    So simple to use that even I can do it. I like the zoom feature, carries in hand easily, also easy to mount to stand. Nothing flashy but good and basic.

    Good camera for the price. Battery position is a bit dangerous as it can easily be hit when putting camera into case. Good quality and easy to use.

    I use this for recording my hunts during the fall and for videos I put on YouTube of my wood turnings. Wish it had a remote control though but for the price no problem!

    We purchased this camera for work for training purposes and to be used mainly in a still setting and so far we are happy with the quality. We have also brought it to a couple of jobsites and that has gone well. I did try to log on through the manufacturer to register it and their website did not support this product yet when I talked to customer service I was a little disappointed they offered no solution such as a call back.

    This is a high quality camera with an excellent image. The battery has a reasonably long life. The built in 16GB memory is very useful

    Bought this camera for my honeymoon and it was everything I wanted. I didnt bring the instructions with me so it was a bit confusing to figure out how to take still pictures. However, after messing around with it for 15 minutes or so i figured it out. Easy to transfer pictures and video to my computer as well.

    This camcorder was to replace a lost one that my daughter claims she put in a very safe place but can't remember where that would be. This one was an affordable replacement and works fine for videoing sports outside. I like that it uses sd cards because we have a lot of those laying around in the house. Seems like a 32gb card is enough and the battery life is ok. However the battery looks terrible clipped on the back of the camera.

    This camcorder was given as a gift to my son, he plans to use it to help make guitar playing videos for YouTube. None yet with this camcorder but we did test it in low light by recording outdoor Christmas lights and it performed perfectly, It was compared to a $1500 Sony and it showed well but the Sony did out perform it. For a person who wants to grab and shoot it is a good choice and worth the price. I would recommend it as a good choice for someone who wants to "keep it simple" or a beginner.
