Pretty low quality in 2023.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using Elgato's Facecam as a top down camera for my keyboard and mouse. Thought this guy might give me better quality when paired with a capture card. I was mistaken. Kind of a dinosaur TBH, really noise image, feels super dated.

Great entry level camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase the camera for my son sporting events. It’s a simple but every useful camera plus it allows you to also take still pictures while recording. Awesome. I have try to capture all the moments that I can!
I would recommend this to a friendWorks as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Delivers as promised. The only negative is the recording screen is sometimes dark and has low quality resolution so if your recording in bad light or shade it's hard to see what you are recording.
I would recommend this to a friendGood value for the price.

I would recommend this to a friendSmall and sleek
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was truly enjoying this small and sleek video camera. But after the season of sports was over, I can't seem to locate it. Maybe it was too small.
I would recommend this to a friendGood camera but beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Salesman misinformed me that everything was included.

Simple to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems nice enough. But, did not know cannot record as a continuous video, just as clips. Now to figure how to convert to single video. Really thought was purchasing one like using a tape.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camcorder for a beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this for my son for Christmas and he hasn't put it down since. This only thing her doesn't like it's that you can't pause during recording. You just have to stop and start or I would give it 5 stars.
I would recommend this to a friendGood buy
