    Bought this 2 yrs ago and i used it only for special occasions and it works great! I love it! Its has simple features but it works for me. If u wanting something more fancy this would not be a good option! To me it does the job. Good quality

    Not a bad standard camcorder. Only 4 stars because the next model up had built in WiFi that allows you to upload videos and photos directly to your phone which I like and gave that one 5 stars. Both are worth the price and work very well. Videos are clean crisp quality.

    This camcorder was a Christmas gift for my son so he could record family memories. It has been used over and over again for his children's band and choir concerts as well as family vacations. He really enjoyed it.

    This is a great little compact video camera. Was definitely intended on a "point and shoot" premise. Lacks some of the manual control I would have liked. But that is not the intent with this camera. Quality is excellent.

    I love the quality and the settings you can choose for the videos. Being able to take photos is a major plus. The only thing I don't like is not being able to jump right to the photo viewer like I can with videos. I want to be able to quickly view photos after taking them.

    We bought this for work and it has good quality and you can take still images as well as video. Perfect if you don't wanna fill up the memory on your phone with video but still wanna capture the kids ball game or other events.

    The camera is perfect for on the go. It’s light, small and can fit into a handheld camera case perfectly. The color that it gives off on the screen is a tad dull, but it over all is good. If you have the $ and are ok with spending more, get a better quality one (color wise)

    This cam had been around awhile but seems unbeatable at the price point. Easy To use. Convenient - SD card is on the left side that's the back, microphone input, DVD, composite output (need to purchase a cable though) on left side.

    Got it for my son who does YouTube videos. Excellent video quality and the sound quality is decent enough for such a small camera at this price range. A great camera for your average YouTuber (in my son's opinons)

    Compact, great flexible screen, numerous options, great for streaming. Be careful when handling because it is light. Touch screen is great, but lots of options, so you have to learn which ones work for you.

    Excellent basic HD camcorder! We were looking for a good HD camcorder to get higher quality videos than what we were getting from our 10-yr old standard definition one. This does a great job for what we need.
