The quality will be worse than the phone you have
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these to upgrade our podcast from being filmed from our phones to actual camcorders. The quality is.... unbelievably bad. Even in a room with good quality lighting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendbought it for a wedding - could not get it charged
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was unable to attend an important wedding because of Covid-19. Bought this so I would be able to see the whole event. They were unable to get the camcorder charged so I got "nothing". Unfortunately, I cannot find my receipt so I'm stuck with a non-working item.

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew as soon as I removed this camera from the box that it was CHEAP!

it's okay good as a basic camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.buttons for operation and menu set up a bit finick picture color and quality not that great
I would recommend this to a friendSimple to use, great HD pictures for price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a simple to use, small camcorder that would fit in my pocket. This camera was more than I hoped for for the price. Takes good HD pictures, even in low light, on wide angle with steady-cam the pictures look like they were shot using a tripod. Some reviews complain about the picture quality, but I think it was the setting to get maximum time that would reduce the resolution, then another complained about Best Buy Salesperson who gave bad info and rated this camera one star. I have a friend who saw the results and is going to buy this same great quality bottom of the line without all the bells and whistles that neither one of us needs. I've posted my first video edited with Pinnacle 19.5 on Vimeo in HD and have gotten good comments about the quality.

Grainy videos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The videos turned out to be grainy unless shot under bright lights
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorthless for every conceivable purpose
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HDMI out has the word "Menu" that won't go away. Totally worthless because of this. I already have a smartphone so the only reason for this product to exist is for an HDMI out webcam, which sony missed the mark completely.
