    Selected the camera after looking at a LOT of you tube reviews. I was not disappointed. It worked great with a hdmi to a/v converter so I could get it into my old video switcher.

    I use this camera for recording and livestreaming. It works well for both. The auto mode seems to work well for all situations I have encountered thus far. Good battery life.

    This is a great portable camera for the price. There are better cameras out there for more money but I think this one is good for the cost. Really nice for doing online videos, etc.

    I bought this camera to record my grandfathers funeral so i can put it up on the internet for those that couldnt make it. So the camera was recording non-stop in high quality HD at 60fps for about and 1 hour and 30 minutes, and when i went home to up load the video it was divided into 30 different clips. You can watch the whole video with no skips through the camera but if you upload it, it would be divided into different clips. I was very upset with that because even combining them back together made the video skip. Good thing i knew how to work around it and have the equipment to just connect the camera to my pc and screen record it. But still it was a hassle, so i returned the unit back and got something better that does not divide the video.

    I bought this camcorder to replace my Samsung Camcorder (which I loved but was a few years old). I love it even more than my old one. Higher definition, great for capturing my kids sports without a pixel delay.

    We've been using this to record and post church service online. Pics up sound well enough without being connected to PA system. Very happy with the purchase.

    The camera is easy to operate. Good image quality. Several unique features. The only thing I didn't care for was the need to charge the battery for 7 hours and 45 minutes before using.

    I used to own a Canon mini DV camcorder. This is my first 1080p camcorder. The videos captured are so clear. I like it a lot. However, you would need a light source for recording at night or dark place.

    Takes good daytime HD video. Haven't used in low light yet. Must use SD card to supplement the MINIMALIST internal memory.
