    I was surprised at all the features of this camera based on it's price. The 60x zoom is no joke either. I can literally read licence plates from over a block away. The files it makes are really easy to upload to my YouTube page also.

    This camera is very simple to use, yet does a quality job for basic video recording purposes. Recording format is readily usable in many movie editing software packages.

    If you are looking to get into a entry level 4k video recorder at a great price look no further. Thumbs up as this unit did all I needed it for and then some.

    Decent 1080p video camera with good amount of zoom. The material of the camera is of a cheap plastic and feels very light when using it. The microphone quality of the video camera is also decent. If you are thinking of using this camera for quality video producing then a smartphone with 4K video taking is better than this.

    A Fine Starter Camcorder for Youtube

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this camcorder in order to start making art videos for my Youtube channel, and, so far, it's proven to be a great starter camera for video-making. While it doesn't have a touch screen, navigating the menus isn't too difficult with the nub. It has settings for indoor and outdoor lighting, although I've found it better to adjust certain settings manually, One thing I didn't like about this camera was that the instruction manual provided doesn't really explain the different settings and options in the menus, so if you want to find the best settings for your filming situation, you'll likely have to do your own research if you know nothing about cameras.

    My son wanted this camera so he could make movies with his friends. It's compact and the image doesn't move around a lot when they are moving. Great for college kids. Easy on the wallet.
