Video Camera Camcorder for YouTube, Digital Vlogging Camera FHD 1080P 30FPS 24MP 3.0 Inch 270° Rotation Screen Video Recorder with Microphone, Remote Control, 2 Batteries

Excellent user friendly

I was presently surprised with this camera. Not only is it lightweight but it does a good job at taking some good video. You must use a class 10 card in it (does not come with one) or the video will end up choppy and not play back right. Also when using the files, you must transfer to your computer for best streaming and video. The microphone works really well and directs the pickup in two modes. Straight and direct or wide and broader. Has a rechargeable battery which is not really discussed in the description which I like. You recharge the batteries on the camera and having two is super convenient so you can switch out the batteries when one dies.Very easy interface to use, you don't need to have much direction to figure it out except where you set the time and date and for that there is a clear instructions for. It's odd since that is really explained in the instructions but nothing else has that much detail that I saw.What I really like about the camera though is that the screen rotates and is very clear. So if you are doing a vlog or recording yourself is very nice. I also like the nearly free rotation so if there is a bad glare you can alter the angle you are viewing it at.I do wish the microphone cord was at the top or something since closing the screen lid is difficult when there is a cord plugged into it.Nice lightweight camera that takes great video. My son will love it in recording all of his fun activities

Product was exactly as described a bang for your buck

I’ve tried this camera in my studio, outside, and in just about every situation I could possibly find a use case. It is simply not usable anywhere. Let me put it this way, suppose you have the option of buying this for $90 or just using an old $25 cellphone you probably have sitting in a drawer. Which do you think would produce better HD video? Well … not this camera.My basement studio has two daylight lamps with umbrella diffusers, green, white, and black screens. I’ve got the light situation under control. I ran a side-by-side comparison using this little camera with its microphone and my 4 year old cellphone.During the test, I had to have the camera just about right up to my face. That's pretty much the only way I found that I can get any useful footage. If I stand the camera back any farther than maybe two feet, all of the sudden everything goes completely grainy and garbage. This is the opposite of claims made by the description on this page. Zoom makes everything way, way worse.Now, the phone I’m comparing this camera to is not a good smartphone. It was $199 when I bought it four years ago. So it was inexpensive to begin with, and it's probably worth about $25 right now if anyone would even give me that for it.I also decided to make the comparison even less fair. I used the selfie camera on the cell phone to prove the point that with good lighting and a decent sensor, you should be able to get good video.I also compared the audio recorded by the cellphone with the microphone that comes with the camera. Neither was great. The microphone that came with the camera had significant background hiss and static. That’s easy to clean out after the fact, but … really. It was loud, though, so there is that.With the green screen, there was so much noise in the footage from the camera that it was pretty much impossible to use. The noise shows up all along the corners of my shoulders making it obvious that there is a green screen. The cellphone did not have this problem. Even a little bit. The colors on the camera are also all washed out and terrible. They also changed as I would move.For both, I left the setting stock as it came. I fiddled some with the camera, and it didn’t help. But, I want something that just works well enough without dealing with ISO, and tweaks, etc. Even if I could get settings to a point where any footage was usable (I couldn’t), I’d have to do it again every time I turned the thing on, because this camera doesn't save those settings. It just reverts back to default.Watch the video and see for yourself. I will say for $90, do something else.UPDATE: Amazon reviews really suck. So I've tried to upload a comparison video, but Amazon won't accept a compressed mp4 format. However, the high res mov format is "too big" to upload. So how you're supposed to upload a video review is beyond me! You'll have to trust me that the cheap selfie cam on a cheap cellphone beat the pants off this crappy camera.

Great started camcorder for little influencers or young movie makers, good price for the quality!

I would consider this the bare minimum camcorder if you're looking to record and create videos on a very low budget. I'm satisfied with my purchase and got what I paid for. That being said, I would not buy it again and would invest in better equipment. That's not the fault of this camcorder though. Just what I was willing to invest at the time.Pros: Cheap, light and easy to use.Cons:- battery life is 15-20 minutes. They give you two batteries because you'll need them. You can record while plugged in (charging) so that helps if you're not moving.- corrupted videos: I bought a SanDisk 32GB Ultra SDHC UHS-I Memory Card - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, SD Card - SDSDUN4-032G-GN6IN for this camera. Not the most expensive but not the cheapest either. About 1 out of 5 (maybe 1 out of 10) of my videos get corrupted. Usually the longer videos are the ones that get corrupted. If you record short videos, you should be fine. Maybe when the battery gets low, the odds of the file getting corrupted increase.- files are chopped into multiple parts around the 10-12 minute mark resulting in a lot of files you have to merge back together.- video quality on the camcorder and on the PC are fine but degrade rapidly when you upload them to YouTube or when the camcorder is moving. It is a cheap camcorder though so that's probably expected. If you record on a tripod or from a static position, you should be fine.

The media could not be loaded. Pretty amazing with anything that provides reasonable imagery for less then $100. Is this camera a cinematice marvel? No. BUT if you are unable to invest $1000's to start a youtube or just film events with your family this is one of the better options. The image is reasonable at full frame compared to a point and shoot three times it's value, the sound quality pretty impressive with the attached mic, it has lots of fun filters to place with and I like that it's priced low enough that I could put it in som sketchy situations and not worry too much if I needed to replace it.All in all a pretty decent buy!
