    Using several of these cameras for fixed locations in music venue. HDMI out is active (whether recording or not) for live feed to video monitors. Auto color/lighting works well even with dynamic stage lighting. Good value vs features vs performance.

    I got this to live stream our church services as cheap as possible but way better than a webcam. The zoom, color, contrast, all look great and the final stream looks fairly good after all the compression needed. Not related, but I have to use an HDMI to USB converter and free encoding software for Facebook Live.
