    Small and compact, but packs a great punch. Video is so clear and is very easy for a not so steady hand to use.

    I purchased two of these camcorders to live-stream services during the Coronavirus pandemic. They work great. Though the quality isn't that of a higher end system, they do the trick. Sometimes, they have trouble capturing rich images in low light situations, but I have no real complaints. They work pretty seamless when it comes to video capture for live-streaming.

    I have other cameras. This was a purchase after getting frustrated with the limitations of my Canon t3i which has a limited record time. Not so easy to use for vlogging in a studio setting. Although I do use all my cameras for various angles and views, I like this one because it has 6 hours record time. Plus you can plug it in to extend that time. It won't shut off during filming. (Well given you have a large SD card.) Yea!!! And the picture is great. I love it

    This camcorder is good for its price. The battery pack is a bit in an awkward position and some of the setup takes a bit to navigate but overall quality is good and worth it for the price. If you're trying to do macro filming without blurry, this camcorder wouldn't be good. If you're looking for a camcorder to film memories of your family then this one would be great.

    I needed a new camcorder for some website work and interview pieces and this camera has been great. There's a more basic non-touch screen version but I think the touch screen is a nice addition that makes it faster and easier to navigate and modify settings.
