    Not perfect but easy to use. Auto features provide a nice image. Can get grainy with the zoom so be careful there.

    It's basically a cellphone camera. Not good in low light. Very small sensor. But what should I have expected for $249.00 I took it back and bout a better one but if you want an inexpensive camera that gets the job done it will work.

    My prior camcorder was a Sony with Him tapes, so this is much more lightweight and responsive. Good clear picture.
