Best Avoided
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros - uses USB-C for charging and data transfer. Cons - everything else. Very poor quality image with no auto focus. Image stabilization useless. More like 2-bit color and no dynamic range to speak of. Zoom action is very choppy.

So far so good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m still learning how to use all the features. So far, it’s been pretty easy. It does what I want at a price that’s easy on my wallet. I don’t expect studio results but it still performs very good.

not that great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess the term "you get what you pay for" applies here. This inexpensive camcorder feels cheap and the video quality isn't very good. The controls are a bit confusing. It says it's 4K but my old Sony analog tape camcorder had better video quality. One thing I did like was that it comes with a built in microphone, and many do not. Not really any better than my old iPhone

: A Disappointing Experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had the unfortunate experience of using the Vivatar Camcorder, and I must say it was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The image and video quality offered by the Vivatar Camcorder are equally disappointing. The resolution is far below industry standards, resulting in grainy and pixelated footage. The colors appear washed out and lack vibrancy, making the visuals unappealing. Even under ideal lighting conditions, the camcorder struggles to capture clear and sharp images. There are far superior options available in the market within the same price range, offering better quality and a more satisfying user experience.

what is vivitar doing?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i believe its misleading specs... the video footage was definitely NOT 4k or ultra hd. the price was $129 for 4k UHD footage..? now i know why the price was that low. you get what you pay for, grainy pixelated footage.

Not for me, some basic problems
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an OK camcorder for the money. But if you want your videos in focus, this is not the one for you. Supposedly it has auto-focus, however it is not mentioned in the manual. It does not have manual focus either, which may have helped. The instructions are very vague in the explanations of how the camera works. There are many abbreviations which are not explained. Bought it on Saturday, returned on Monday.
