    Pretty good for the money, I haven't compared it to any low end camcorders so don't know if the less expensive models work just as well. The zoom could be a little better is about the only thing I see as room for improvement, although it's not bad. I am comparing against a Sony camera of like size and price range.For the average user this is a good camera for a good price, and also has remote mic and wifi, which if you want the wifi feature that comes in as a nice feature. Overall I would recommend .

    Great quality videos but not compatible with MacBook or iPhone, nor all external mics. Research all you’ll need before buying. The support website listed in the manual is over two years old. The app for the iPhone is horrible. The menu is not easy to use.

    Great camera easy to use. There is a slight delay when turning on the camera. I use it for recording church worship services. Turning it off and on is essential to me so some times I miss a bit of footage because of that. Over all a good buy

    excellent for the price to performance ratio. i have a s21 ultra that i got just incase i see a ufo but it sucks zooming at night time and this when you put in manual mode with night vison enabled works excellent but past 44 times zoom tends to get degraded at night and also use a IR flash light to get the best of it at night time. after having it for some time and getting it for 600$ open box was a mega deal!
