    Got it for my son. Hes really into skateboarding and capturing footage. The nostalgic look is poplar with those videos. He loves how it's easy to hold, small and can easily transfer videos to his phone for editing. Can't go wrong with this camcorder.

    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.

    this camera is so convenient! it has that perfect aesthetic to it, almost like a home video camera. the audio quality is not good but that can easily be fixed with some external mics. other than that i’m in love with it! it’s a great addition to my camera family. love it. :)

    The video quality is excellent, but the audio is horrible. We even purchased an external microphone and the audio did not improve. We also found it difficult to stream to our cell phones.

    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.
