    i paid 50 dollars more for the tracking feature on this camera. it worked pretty good. went out of focus a few times but quickly fixed itself. way better then any other point and shoot or my phone camera i tried before. the mic is actually pretty good too. the battery lasted a while for me. i filmed for maybe four hours and never had to stop to charge or plug in the battery.

    I have to say I've been super happy with this camcorder. The overall quality and feature set are impressive for a camera this inexpensive. My only gripes: Using an external mic generates a buzz if plugged into the charger (typical of camcorders of the consumer variety) and if you manually set aperture, exposure, etc., they don't stick between power cycles (meaning you have to set them each time). Other than that? No complaints at all. Highly recommended.

    I purchased this camcorder to record my son and daughters sports activities and it is light and small to carry around. Down side is that when I removed the SDS card and tried to download to my computer I can't get them to upload. And then when I went back to the camera with the SDS card the videos were gone. It was probably my error but lost about 8 good matches of my sons wrestling tournament.
