    Miss-labeled product, Record duration Unknown

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unfortunately, the camcorder is really "4K", not "8K" as labelled. 4K is also known as Ultra High Definition (UHD), with a pixel size of 3840 x 2160. Also, I returned the product because I found out (before opening it) that the record time is limited to 60 minutes. The salesperson did not know how long you could record using a single battery and know additional batteries were available.

    I haven't had an extreme amount of time to get familiar with the product but a couple of things I know I don't like is the feedback during video playback; it's a lot of feedback. I also don't like the volume doesn't go higher or that the microphone sucks. I've tried to buy other microphones but that doesn't seem to help.

    Zoom was only digital and very minimal. No statement on the box as to what the zoom was. Everything else was great if you only need a camera for close range.
