    The camera is easy to use indoors but outdoors the viewing screen shows my face on top of the scene I want to see.

    We decided it was a great product but couldn’t afford it at this time. it really seems like it was exactly what we wanted. we are waiting to save money to buy this product. Using a camera for videos is not optimal because you cannot send them by text or email if they were over so many seconds

    When the recording device on the camera was not satisfactory I bought an additional microphone to plug-in. Still This sound is not good. It’s vague and remote. The camera otherwise is very good.

    It has an external mike input which greatly helps the recording volume. My biggest complaint is that it has a hard time focusing in low light situations. The facial recognition helps the focus but if you don't have a person in the video, ordinary room light will make focusing a struggle.
