    Open Box good: please be aware Best Buy is selling a open box good to excellent suppose to come with accessories, got to the store it was a camera no battery, power charger, or any other accessories. Very poor customer service drove out of my way for a hour and camera was missing everything that was supposed to be included according to the online sales rep. Not sure if the camera is good or not could not test it with out any power

    This camera will consistently stop recording and crash unexpectedly, even with the AC Adapter connected, regardless of the type of media being used (SD Card, microSD Card, variety of sizes). The only remedy is to remove the battery, which promptly corrupts your video file beyond recovery for editing. The first time I used it, it stopped recording 1080p around 20 minutes, and I attributed it to my microSD card being too fast? Or too new? So, I attempted a new recording at 720p with a full SD Card moderately sized (64GB). This time, it would stop recording around 12 minutes. All recordings corrupted.
