Everything EXCEPT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an impulse buy. I didn't NEED the camera, but I was in a small bind of my own making. Purchased at the Best Buy in Virginia Beach, this camera has ALMOST everything I look for in a camcorder. It's extremely lightweight, has a Zeiss lens. From what I learned Zeiss lenses are of very high quality. It produces very clear pictures/video. I found it add that the USB charger/transfer cable is in the hand grip, but whatever. This camera dos NOT do time lapse. Other than that, I find little to complain about. For my needs, this camera is ALMOST perfect. VidGuy069

capable mobile recorder

Solid, if nitpicky
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid camera, only downside is the memory card being a bit confusing. I also am not a total fan of there being no ‘on’ switch/button, just open the door and hope it doesn’t go to sleep in the meantime. This was a gift for a parent who is not super tech savvy and it fit the bill.

Solid camcorder
