High quality for low cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for a church music program. I was shocked at how well it recorded the performance. Both sound and picture were far better than I expected. I had a professional photographer with an opinion on everything surprised it beat out his fancier "professional" recordings....
