 Great technology for the money |

| I've owned video equipment over the span of 30 years since it became generally available to consumers, starting from a $3500 combination of huge shoulder mounted camera that required a separate VCR slung from the same shoulder. This little hand-held gadget provides 10 times the resolution for 5% of the cost in a package 5% of the size of the original. I never thought such an inexpensive product could produce such quality, but indeed the HD resolution is just that, and the color reproduction exceeds the VHS-C camera I had been using for the past 15 years. It's a gem. You can carry it around in your pocket unobtrusively, and it even comes with a remote and tiny counter top tripod. The only negatives I've so far noticed in the month I've had it are that the tripod socket is a bit shallow to accommodate the mounting bolt on my huge old tripod so I have to use a washer between the camera and the tripod to effectively shorten it to get it tight; and when in AV-Out mode to monitor what the camera sees on a television, the camera's screen goes black, but that may be a matter of adjustment that I haven't discovered, and it has no real effect since what the camera sees is being displayed on the television monitor. And I'm mildly concerned that there seems to be no way to prevent inevitable eventual scratching of the lens, such as lens cover or separate disposable-quality accessory lens; or even the ability to completely replace the lens; but that may just be a function of the overall inexpensive level of the equipment. Otherwise, I find this camera more than satisfactory for casual convenient videography and the price beats a similar unit available at Costco. |
Great Buy

| I bought this camera recently but now use it almost exclusively. It's the second videocam that I've owned and this one is a real improvement over its predecessor. The videos come out HD and I upload them onto YT with ease. Honestly, they're pretty impressive. [...]. Further, you can set the camera on high resolution and it creates some absolutely beautiful pictures. Yes, its size is a little ungainly but I have Carhartt shorts with a side panel pocket that's just big enough to hold it. I have to say this camera is one of the best buys I've made. |

Shot 10 videos (without changing batteries) while visiting relatives in Tallahassee Florida, and was impressed. Just go slow in panning camera, and as much as possible, use a tripod. I only have a monopod with me and it shows. i got some camera shakes when i breath. Search Youtube for 12 Lipa, and click on FSU Swing band. I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link here, but here goes; [...]
BTW, I use the plastic cap of a one gallon water jug, just snipped off the inner ring, and it fitted perfectly over the lens.
Great product that i always carry always strapped on my belt. Never miss a video-shoot opportunity; get one.. |
fantastic unexpected christmas gift!

| I received this camcorder as a gift for Christmas and have been totally blown away by it's ease of use, image quality and battery life. The majority of functions were totally intuitive and I was able to find them with minimum fuss and without referring to the manual. The camera has a good fit in my hand and I love the toggle navigation style, but someone with bigger hands might have issues. Most useful aspect so far is my ability to take high-quality pics through a microscopic eyepiece. You can take microscopic pics with a broad array of cameras, digital and otherwise, but the quality of these images is really amazing and useful to me as a student. |
Best Video Camera for $150 Simple to use.

Truly HD camera that shoots 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps. Great action shots and very sharp for outdoor bright light settings. I have 2 other Camcorders that I have given aways since I got this camera over 1 year ago. Mild downside is that you do need good lighting.
YOU CAN NOT beat the price $150. Even 1 year later when looking at all the other Video Cameras out there, this camera is still the best. I almost purchased a Flip Video HD instead of this one, but I am SOOOO glad I kept this one instead because the full 1080p is great and the Removable SD card is a must.
Pros:
$150 come on this is a steal for this HD technology
Works perfectly with Imovie
1080p at 30fps (great detail) or 720p at 60fps (great action shots).
Durable and solid feeling.
Easy to use.
Standard SD card (does not really need the higher class cards to record well).
Decent to very good photos.
Cons:
Basic features
Weaker Flash (ok for photos - does not work well with video).
Needs Higher Lighting
Lens Focus is slightly narrowed (need to stand slightly farther for same view).
Video needs to be loaded on computer or SD Video adaptor to view in true HD.
Cords accompaning Camera are in 480p
HOWEVER, the images and video are TRUE SHARP HD.
People can complain that this is not the best camera and it lacks features or the light level needed should be more. However, WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR $150????? This truly is the best Video Camera out there for the Price and simplicity. Much better than Flip Video.
