    The buttons were too small for my hands. Memory card was the small one and not the usual size that I have in my other cameras.

    This camera is super light and easy to just throw in your purse. The videos are pretty good but when you are in less than optimal light it tends to get a little grainy. Photos on this camcorder are definitely not the best. I returned because I was looking for a camera for a grandchild and we will be using it indoors so the quality will not be great.

    The camera is ok. The fact you must open the door to turn the camcorder on is not good at all. What if the door breaks off? Also, the battery is dead already. I bought this a few weeks ago. I would like to bring the camcorder back and buy a different more improved one. Please advise. Thank you. Nancy

    Picture quality is weak, lots of grain and noise compared to my iPhone. Largely bought for webinars and the zoom lens of course, which does make for better framing. Would recommend buying a higher end unit though as the above mentioned grain isn't really acceptable even at this price point
