I would recommend this to a friendRep was no help, no floor model.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rep couldn't answer questions and no floor model.. From what I read, this was going to be an ok camera, but it's not what I wanted. Limited supply on hand, and I needed something that day. I should have waited, or went to another store.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.About 10% of the time, the MP4 file was corrupt. In a couple of cases, the camera was able to repair the file. However, the repair process did not work every time, which resulted in the loss of some valuable footage.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the picture quality isn’t very good. I ended up returning it. Went with a GoPro for about the same money and got A MUCH better video experience. We use it to record my son’s High school sports. Don’t buy it.

Quality is poor
