    Camera is easy to use, video is high quailty and sound is decent. Photos are a bit grainy, but didn't buy this to use as a camera so not really an issue to me.

    Tried a GoPro and could barely make it thru the manual/or see what I was recording. This was so much easier to use and portable enough to wear around my neck on a lanyard. Excellent value!

    I bought this camcorder for a student of mine in need of her own camera. I have bought two for myself so I knew this one would be good for her. The price was great. The quality of the video and audio were also good.

    I was looking for something cheap to keep in my car. I already have a dslr and a couple of go pros. The thing that I was most concerned with was low light situations. I is adequate.

    Feels like it’s made of cheap plastic but for the money it’s a good buy. I was just surprised by the fragile feeling of it compared to my old one
