    Poor quality zoom at a low price. Built-in monitor stupidly shuts off as soon as the HDMI port is plugged into--a bad design. Maybe do in a pinch but not recommended. I guess you get what you pay for.

    Okay camera for the price, but my webcam on OBS had better video. This also doesn't come with an SD card and it doesn't save direct to your computer while connected via USB.
