- Pros mentioned:Video quality
1080p video with 9.2 meg pixel still picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture quality is good enough for concerts or vacations. File size gets really big if shooting in best quality. Optical image stabilizer works well, but at 30x zoom, maybe shaking without tripod. Battery compartment can fit 2 batteries, but camera only uses one at a time. To fit extra battery, pry open the cover, check YouTube video how to do it. Have not tried night time yet.
I would recommend this to a friend open box item and less price.

Nope, video is fuzzy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This might work better closer up but I bought it for the zoom feature. The video was fuzzy and definitely not high-def. Pretty disappointed. Will be returning.
