Quality pics, poor video
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love the quality of the pictures and videos, however when recording videos I'm not able to record longer than 13 minutes before the camera overheats and turns off. This is a great camera for taking pictures but not for recording.
