||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as an Open Box item from Murrieta, CA Best Buy, listed as in Excellenet condition with no missing pieces. Except it was missing a cord. Left VM for store to call me back to fix issue. They never called. Also texted for help on the app and called in to corporate. Spent approx 5 hours of my time and didnt get the missing piece or the free items that were supposed to be included. Best Buy Murrieta didn’t care. Returned it.

Good camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera was great but it's not touchscreen. Quite hard to navigate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood capture and zoom. So so picture quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Useless to try to review footage just taken in camera. Viewing screen and resolution are too small.. captured quality is so so. Only one in price point but don’t expect much.

I would recommend this to a friend Decent camera for the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Color view finder hard to see outside on a bright day. Photos are average at best.
I would recommend this to a friendIt's ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is what it is. A cheap video camera. Not really user friendly. You have to really go into users manual and pay attention to even do basic functions. Battery life is poor. I've had to revert to using another device all too many times as a second battery is a MUST!!!

Hand cam
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is ok, I prefer 4K cameras over the hand cams though.
I would recommend this to a friendGood for simple stuff, bad quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I first read about this camera, someone said it had problems connecting with software and somewhat of grainy quality. The camera is light, it feels quite cheap, and the quality of the video is REALLY REALLY Grainy even at the highest quality resolution selected. ok for simple things like filming parties or so, dont expect much out of it.

Great camera for a beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good camera for everyday video recording and small fun out tings
I would recommend this to a friendHorrible quality! Returned it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has got to be the widest quality camera/camcorder. It was actually laughable. I’m better off taking home videos on my iPhone because the quality on my iPhone is 10x better than this. Also, the first package arrived to me damaged. The replacement packages box was dented... what kind of shipping is that? I returned it as soon as I turned it on for one minute and saw the horrible picture quality.
