    I hate this camera with a passion. The battery doesn’t even last 1 hour before dying and you can’t use it while the battery is charging. I also haven’t been able to get any content transferred to my phone or computer so this camera is literally useless. I wish I could return it but it is past the return window. I seen the other reviews talking about the battery and thought maybe it was just a defective camera they got, but no it’s not. Avoid this camera at all costs or it will cast you about $500 bucks.
