    Average camcorder, not impressed with quality. I guess you get what you pay for. If your looking for a Average camcorder this is for you. My phone cam is mor impressive.

    It’s good for what it is. Even for a 1080p camera the image lacks quality. I barely use this now.

    Horrible Image Quality

    The video quality was horrible. A cheap cellphone's selfie cam has better image quality. The low-light capabilities was awful and dear lord, the frame-rate and rolling shutter effect was the worst. I don't know who this camera would be for, but it is not worth it, even if it was for sale for $50. Do not buy this. Return it immediately.
