    Absolutely love this camera. I have set this up as my camera for streaming and couldn't be happier. It does a really good job and adjusting so the picture is perfect. The setting were easy to change for my own personal needs.

    I have had this camcorder for about three weeks now and am still learning more about it every day. I had no idea that it would take 360 degrees pictures until yesterday. Lightweight and small enough to fit into a purse. Stunning video in 4K. Absolutely love it!

    The video quality was good, even at the full optical zoom. The buttons however are not easy to reach and the camera does not shut off properly at times. At this price point, there are better choices. It’s also not a full 4k. Main format is mp4, which is a high compression setting.

    So far, I am very pleased with this camera. It is easy to use, light, filled with features I’ll actually use and produces a great picture. I’ve only scratched the surface of what it offers and am excited to see what its fully capable of. For the price, it is more than worth it.

    We bought this camcorder to improve the quality of our Church livestream. So far it has performed quite well. Image quality is very good, even in a somewhat poorly lit auditorium, and the optical zoom is tremendous. We’re excited to try out more of the built in features as time goes on. The only complaint I have is that we had to search YouTube to remove the date from the HDMI output, which can be done but isn’t exactly transparent through the menu system.

    You can't beat this pricing for a high definition, 4K camera. The ease of use is incredible and the quality of the image and sound can't be beat for this price! This camera could cost $1500 easily! I love how small it is too for traveling purposes.

    Really good camera that does what it says it will do. Don't use it for a web cam. It will display the date and settings on your screen. But using it as a video camera works well. Great quality video and easy to use.

    I use this camera in various conditions of weather. The best feature in the audio department; it actually has a great wind guard protection for the outside elements. It does not get rid of all wind noise, but it certainly decreases it dramatically! The video capture is great, especially when leaving a lit area and into a darker area; the automatic light comes on and does an excellent job of capturing images. Great camera for a beginner.

    Bought this camera to shoot surfing and skateboarding from a distance and it does the trick. The 4K even at only 30fps looks far better on my 1080p tv than my older 1080p cam at 60fps. Grabbing still frames are less blurry.

    Great picture quality but the menu takes getting used to. It also requires outside components to use directly with a computer. This is fairly common, but some cameras direct connect.
