Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is excellent for the price. Great zoom clear HD picture up to 60fps. Only down side is the mic is sensitive to wind. Overall great camera for YouTube videos.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Video quality
Not as good as iPhone 6s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Video quality is good for the price but video from an iPhone 6s is better. The optical stabilization is not very good. Purchased to use as a YouTube / vlogging camera and it works good for product reviews / talking head type videos. Not the best for vlog style videos because camera shake is pretty noticeable but not unusable and for the price not terrible. Don't like the charging cable setup, it's hard wired into the camera and only 6" long so if it gets damaged camera is junk. Videos can be downloaded to iOS devices via lightning to USB connector so that's nice since this model doesn't have built in wifi.
I would recommend this to a friend Great camera!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I surprised my husband with this camcorder for the birth of our first baby! He was so beyond excited and happy and absolutely loved every feature this product has to offer. Amazing price for such an excellent piece of equipment! His favorite feature is the fact you can create still shots from live video!

Nice camera with problems.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera but has problems. This camera is very easy to use and you don't even have to read the directions to operate it. The first one we got, the rechargeable battery wouldn't recharge so we took it back and was given another one. I was using the camera to make videos at Church but when the song leader turned on the light, you couldn't tell who it was because everything turned white; so we returned the camera. Our Best Buy only had the two cameras like that but I decided to go with the next one up and so far it is doing well. Sorry, I didn't save the pictures.

Very poor image quality in low light. Not true, HD
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is very bad in low light, very grainy Has great image in outdoor settings on Sunny days, but that's about it. The zoom is OK and audio is OK. The camera feels cheap. I returned it within about 5 days. I got the Panasonic 875 instead. Which has a 30% larger sensor.
