    Excellent camera for the price! Option for clean HDMI output makes it good for live-streaming with a device such as the ATEM Mini line of video switchers. Note: To do this you'll need to turn off three things: Output Onscreen Displays (for clean picture output), Auto Power Off, to keep the camera on, and a strange setting called Demo Mode, which after a few minutes will start a display of what looks like advertising if you use it without an SD card loaded.

    Obviously not one of the higher end video cameras, but has worked out great for a COVID video-broadcasting world.

    I use this for a different angle for my YouTube videos. Serves the purpose well. As long as you have good light the image is clear.

    This camera is perfect for the job it was purchased for. The HD video that comes out of this camera is as good as some much more expensive cameras on the market today.

    Felt comfortable in handling the camera. Video is good when taken in open environment. Yet to stress the handycam completely to determine the battery.
