    This little camera has it all, perfect size, not too heavy and the picture is good quality and very clear. Can’t bet the price either, will be good for years to come, and no more tapes to buy!

    I bought this camera for thr main purpose of utilizing it on every important event in out religious activities. This was actually been recommended as well by fellow members. I also have donated this fine quality camera to the church since the church needed it more than I personally do.

    This camera was bought for personal and to use at my job. the camera is a nice size and the battery appears to have a long life. The zoom lens is very functional, but could be quicker to use. While zooming it takes several seconds for the object being filmed to come into focus. The switch to turn on the recording mode is located at the right rear of the camera, It would be more user friendly if it was located on the middle left side of the camera so you could turn it on while viewing through the lens.

    I use two of these camcorders for our multi-camera live stream at our church. It's a very reasonable price point for three critical features for me -- very good image quality, clean HDMI output (no graphic overlays, critical for producing a live stream), and a discrete audio / mic input if I want to add an external mic (such as a shotgun mic when recording a standalone interview). So many great features at a very affordable price point. Have recommended to others on video production forums. Definitely would purchase again.

    I purchased this before I went on a fishing trip in Canada and it worked great! The zoom is amazing and the video/photo quality is top notch. Can't wait to film more with this cam!

    I love this camera. Even though I ordered a bag to carry/keep it in it fits perfectly in my purse. The pictures are beautiful. They look like I have been doing this for a long time.

    Great camera for the money. I only issue that I have is that I wish I would have bought another one. Clear picture and crisp sound. Battery is good. Can’t say anything bad about it.

    This is a great camera. I have bought two for my media production company. My favorite feature is the external mic input that allows us to use a boom mic when we film. This improves the audio quality of our videos significantly. The resolution of the video using this camera is exceptional.

    The picture quality is very good for a budget priced camera. Picture stays clear even when zoomed in. The only drawback is no cold shoe on top.

    When comparing video to my z2 force camera it's less blurry and less choppy. It's capable of taking good long videos but preferably in good daylight. Unfortunately, I used it during a wedding and it occasionally malfunctioned. It stopped recording right when the vows were done and missed the pronouncement of marriage. Also some videos I made just didn't exist when I went to copy movies from the SD card. Some videos were also marked "?" So I had to restore those files. I had to return the camcorder because of the unreliability. However, I'm not sure if it is due to the camcorder or the micro SD card.

    The camcorder is perfect for a great price. The sales guy recommend this one and I am glad I listened. The quality is great and the price was in the lower end of the range.
