Little Camera Big Result like Pro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ok guys, before make a purchase I read reviews always from 1 stars. Just wondering why people make 1,2 or 3 star. some of them say very light, too little and cheap made. finally I bought this camera because the price was so low on blackfriday, and still thinking want to return it before opening the box.one day my phone was no more space for video taking, then we took the camcorder out to snow play with our daughter, the quality of video & picture make all of us can't stop to talk bout how good the quality of camera. Only $129 on blackfriday but quality was so amazing HD.
