Video Camera Camcorder Digital Camera Recorder Full HD 1080P 15FPS

Bought this for a grandson's birthday present and he is thrilled! I tested it prior to wrapping to ensure that it was operational and was pleasantly surprised with the unit. It comes with an extra battery in case the other runs down or is forgotten to be recharged, which is a plus for a child and busy adult - :). While testing the unit, the zoom "appeared" to be "jumpy" but as it turns out is was only lagging on-screen - video playback was smooth. The stabilization is what I would expect for a unit of this cost - unless held steady by hand or on a tripod, the video will reflect movement. But under tripod use, it is excellent. The picture quality is outstanding in the video. The LCD screen that shows what the camera is focused on is probably the most inferior of the entire unit - but don't take that in the wrong context. It does not display the quality that the video itself is produced in the video file. Also, I may have missed it in the manual, but the battery latch on the bottom side of the unit was not covered, and it was a little frustrating locating it - not untypical of black plastic with black raised lettering on anything you buy today. Bottom line - I would buy again for sure. It could even supplement other cameras in capturing multi-camera video for editing down to a final production, as long as you use a tripod! It is a great value for the cost. It would only be a convenience IF a SD card was included or optional in the purchase, because if you miss that it IS pointed out that NO SD CARD INCLUDED, you will find yourself making an additional purchase. If you have an aspiring video star in your family, this is a great unit to start them out with!

Just so we are comparing apples to apples, we have to set the stage correctly for a good comparison and review. Sure, there are probably 100 camcorders out there ranging from less than $100 to perhaps $500 or more. Each step up means more features, more pixels, this and that... So it's important to make sure we are comparing camcorders in the same category, right? Ok. So.. This one I'd put in the "Basic Intro" camcorder category that is less than $100 -- in fact, it is quite impressive that this camcorder is less than $70 and yet it delivers full 1080p HD with a 24 MP CMOS sensor. It has more pixels than my Samsung Galaxy S10, that's for sure! So right there for less than $100, it's got a lot to offer in terms of pixel capacity. The user can select 3 different image quality but I keep it on full HD all the time. Why not? It takes a standard SD card up to 32 GB in size - That's very nice because you know videos take a lot memory. I have a 16 GB high speed 10x SD card and it works very well for my applications and a day of shooting cat videos. The bottom of the camcorder has a pre-threaded adapter hold to accommodate standard sized tripod--which is perfect for those stable, long-shot situations. Lastly, the camcorder's viewing screen can turn 360 degrees so you can see it from any angle while keeping the shot steady. I am attaching some photos so you can see what I am talking about. It comes with TWO batteries! That is very cool, actually. Never want to run out of battery power so always have a backup battery in your pocket. I like that a lot. The camcorder charges the battery while plugged in, then swap out to charge the other one. There is a combo USB charging cable (and charging adapter) with AV adopters, too. It would be an extra point if it comes with a separate, externally plugged charger so I can shoot the video while charging the other battery. Just a thought. Camcorder can be stored in a soft pouch and the pouch has a belt loop so you can attach the pouch to your belt, shoot your video, and stow the camcorder after. Very handy! The function buttons are all correctly placed for a camcorder. The record button is on the right thumb, the zoom (in and out) is on the top where the index finger rests, etc. It is configured as a right-handed user's camcorder--I find that interesting because I haven't yet come across a left-handed camcorder! So, this is probably an industry-standard. Anyway, for right-handed use, all the buttons are at the right place. Shooting this camcorder is simple--there is not a lot of functions to mess with. It is almost as easy as point and shoot. In many ways I prefer that--I don't want to have mess with 3 settings before I can shoot. Sometimes the moment is so fleeting you don't have time to mess with settings. I also like that I can turn the sound off. The default is sound ON which I don't like it--so I turn it off for my personal taste. Sometimes in a place you don't want to be making a lot of noise--wherever you are supposed to silence your cell phone, you should also silence your video camcorder. Right? Turning on (i.e. flipping open) the view finder automatically turns it On, and off, likewise, flipping off the view finder. Camcorder is ready in about 2-3 seconds. Push the red Record button, it begins. Now let's talk about image quality, the good, and the limitations. When running at FHD (full HD mode), it takes a lot of processing power than standard quality. Under standard quality the image (i.e. movie) is quite smooth but lack the full HD quality. Running at FHD the frame rate is not as high is it can be. I find this camcorder limited in use in those high dynamic situations. For example, trying to video record a fast action football game, you will find the frame rate needing a bit more boost. However, for more static situations such as a video blogging or just basic recording where you aren't capturing fast-moving objects, then yes, it will do fine. It is more than adequate for the purposes described in the latter. But, again, remember that we are classifying a sub-$100 camcorder so the expectation is that we won't be taking this out to high-speed boating for a spin. So keep that in mind. The video file output is in the standard .AVI format. A number of softwares are out there to process it and compress it into formats such as MPEG. Camcorder does not have internal software for those other file outputs, but it is not an issue because plenty free software out there for AVI processing. So, in conclusion, I can say that you should expect to: 1. Use this camcorder in a pretty static, well-lit environment. It is especially good if it is on a tripod. 2. Understand the correct classification of a $70 camcorder that offers 1080p full HD pixel quality. 3. It is simple to use, lightweight, point-and-shoot, down to earth style of operation. 4. Comes with a few gizmos such as extra battery, carrying case, charger/AV combo cable. 5. A 24MP rated at 15 FPS. Thanks for reading! Hope this helps you make your decision as there are hundreds of camcorders to pick from!! :-)

It is by far the lowest budget camcorder I could possibly find on Amazon. I only need it for evidence of my actions at my business. I don't need something too high quality. I don't need something with all kinds of functions and buttons that I don't understand. I am not very tech savvy. All I need is a simple zoom in zoom out, power on power off, record, playback, and that's about it. This camcorder only supports SD cards that are 32 GB. I don’t know if there is an option for higher memory card that this camcorder would support. however, I'm going to stick with the 32gb since I don't really need it for much else other than 30-minute recordings or so. I absolutely love how small and compact this thing is. I bought this along with a 32gb memory card, memory card reader, as well as a tripod and I got everything for about $110. Not bad for what I need it for. Just as a FYI this does not support external microphone setup. Also, you will have to format your SD card while it is inside the camcorder. Without doing this your videos will not show up as a readable files on your computer. This is also a great option if you are new to vlogging or making videos. It is pretty much foolproof with a point and shoot easy operation for starting videos. Eventually I might buy something better.

Buy this if you need a great webcam! I am an auctioneer and now have to do my auctions "Virtually." The built in webcams on computers are not adequate as they will not allow me to stand far enough away for a head to toe shot. I have tried a few externally connected web cams and found they distorted the image unless I was just a few feet away. I decided to find a camcorder that could also be used as a Webcam. Wow, did I find the perfect solution with this camera! What amazed me was the quality of the image. I tried to use a very expensive older camcorder I have and the quality of the image wasn't even close to this camera. I was amazed with the low light capability but my job requires excellent lighting and under those conditions the image quality is amazing. I was also wanting a camera I could set on a tripod and then use the zoom feature to properly frame my shot, rather than move the tripod, and the 16X zoom does that. Finally, the completeness of what you receive, two batteries, connecting cable, operating manual (in English!!) and a very nice case was very impressive. The manual frankly is not needed as the camera controls are very intuitive. I had it up and running in minutes and only looked at the manual later to verify what I had already discovered. The price is deceiving. You will find it hard you believe you can get such a high quality camera for the same price as a simple webcam with no features at all. Don't buy a computer web cam - buy this instead and use it as a webcam, and then you will also have a great camcorder as a bonus.

This Video Camera Camcorder is super fun! First off, the price is right! It has all the major features you'd need to do some basic picture taking, some HD video recording, and some vlogging. Right out of the box, things were easy. I unpackaged and attached one of the two batteries, opened the LCD display, and the camera turned right on, welcoming me. A Menu button got me some options, and I could set the Date and Time, video quality, 4 differents effects, including sepia tone, and whether I wanted my video date stamped or not. I could also change a few other functions. The Camcorder's screen must be open in order to access the cover for the charging and component video output. The included cable uses a specialized connection, instead of a standard mini or micro-USB, so you want to keep track of the cable. I turned the camera off to charge the batteries. Functions allow for you to show the options on the display, turn them off, or turn off the display completely while in use! The Camcorder features a 16x zoom feature, but as there are no moving lens parts, at least on the outside, its probably being done digitally. If you try to zoom while shooting, there was no noticable noise, but the zooms happen suddenly, sort of jerking in, like a cool effect, not a smooth Hollywood zoom. In most cases you'd zoom before pressing record, so this shouldn't be too big of an issue. The Camcorder boasts some image stabilization, but this is a feature that is apparently always on, or it could have potentially helped with the zoom feature. And although the product features and listing make it clear, don't expect 1080p Full HD at 30 frames per second. When in that mode, it appears to drop down to 15 fps. 30 fps can be had at the 720. There is also a little LED illuminator light, but don't expect too much in dark rooms, or for it to add much, really. However, there is a place you could add an external powered light on the top. Photo mode has some additional options for taking pictures, including anti-shake, smile capture, and face detection. Missing seems to be any sort of timer. I haven't used this mode very much. The Camcorder's screen must be open in order to access the cover for the charging and component video output. The included cable uses a specialized connection, instead of a standard mini or micro-USB, so you want to keep track of the cable. I turned the camera off to charge the batteries. All in all, for the price, this is a great little camcorder, if one takes into account, again, the price, and the intended market, beginning vloggers. This isn't a GoPro or action camera, and is more for a bedroom vlog, than a Hollywood blockbuster. But, as the camera seems sturdy and robust, it's probably great for kids or teens or very basic vlog use. And, as it records to SD card, you could even use this in situations where you're worried about damaging some more expensive equipment, and still be able to get the SD card out to capture your footage!

Let me start by saying I've been using camcorders since Jr High school back in the 90s so I've had my fair share of different devices. With that said, this particular camcorder is a perfect starter one. I purchased this for my step daughter to use because she's always wanting to make videos to try to become the next YouTube Star. Here are some quick bullet points to help you decide if this is best for you. • Great picture quality. I was really surprised by it actually. Most camcorders take very low quality. This one is definitely better than some other camcorders I've used. • Zoom ok. It does have zoom, but it is digital and isn’t super smooth. • Small and portable. It will fit in your pocket, but I wouldn’t recommend walking around like that because it would look funny with how it would bulge out. • Buttons at your fingertips. For the most part you can operate all the functions to record/take photos with just one hand. This is great if you need a free hand to do other things. • Decent case. The case it comes with seems like good quality. It even has a belt loop to use if needed. • Battery life is ok. Don’t expect to be using this for hours. It does come with two though which is nice. This might just be a limitation because it’s so small. • Lightweight. It can be carried with just your pinky. This is nice if you are gifting it to a child because it will be less likely to be dropped. • Records sound. This can be used to just record sound and without video. This is super handy if you just want to do a voice memo or maybe even a singing solo. I have included a video with some footage from the camcorder itself and combined the clips. I tried to make it just around a minute long because I know I hate watching long videos. The first two clips are video with natural sound. Then a photo I took with the camera and added background sound that I recorded with the sound recording feature. This was all done in a free video editing program. To sum it all up, this is a great camera for beginners as most of the reviews and description of the product states. The price can’t be beat for what you get.

I just bought this HD video camera and tried it out today for the first time in an indoor setting. After trying the HD setting, which ended up grainy, I put the Movie Size setting on the highest option (1920x1080) and the volume on 3, put the camera on a tripod and sat approx 3 feet from the camera. The video was very grainy and the audio was horrible. In order to video myself, and to have decent audio, I had to hold the camera so my head fills the screen. If I had a group of family members sitting on the sofa and I wanted to video them conversing, the audio would be horrible even playing it on my computer where I can raise the volume to the highest setting. I then filmed outdoors and the resolution of the video was so much better but again, the audio was not good. You need to be on top of people to hear what they are saying. I purchased this camera due to the ratings so I'm not sure if I just got a lemon or this is the best that it gets. You get what you pay for, lesson learned. If you don't care about good audio from 3 feet or more away and film outdoors then this is a good camera but if you expect more than that I wouldn't waste your money.

First there was fast shipping from Amazon, this time, every time. A strong, neat box held my new camcorder which I was so eager to try out. Contents were 2 batteries, a multipurpose usb/AV/Charger cable, a nifty padded bag w/belt loop, and a usb wall power device, and of course-a manual. I popped open the rectangular door underneath the camera and inserted a 32g SD card with the contacts facing the short end and clicked it in. Then I unwrapped a battery, pulled back the small spring loaded lock latch and with the arrow pointing up on the battery, I leveled it and slid it about an eighth of an inch and let go of the latch. Now, I hit the power button, went to the menu utility and formatted the SD card. After this, you are ready to read the functions in the manual and set up a couple of parameters such as still picture resolution and movie size. I chose 5 mp for still shots and chose the middle setting for AVI movies. I tried everything out for pictures and movies and it all worked well. If you slide your finger to the right of the menu button and push that button, you will be able to review your shots. There is also a menu setting for holding a snapshot-set this on the max of 3 seconds to glimpse your pictures before they disappear from sight. Well now, all was going along fine until I tried to connect to my computer. My computer was not installing this device correctly. So, after reading about why USB devices might not install correctly, I also asked a question about this procedure on Amazon's product page. The seller responded lightning fast with the correct procedure to install the camera's driver. It worked and I was able to see the camera as a drive and view files. And while you are connected to your computer, the battery is also charging. This battery is lithium and it hangs in there for the long haul! If I can add pics and movies later, I might do so, but you will see some movies that others have posted. My advice is to use that strap so you don't drop the camera. For still shots, you have many resolution choices. You will find one you like, and with a 32g SD card, you can shoot a heck of a lot! I got this unit at the right time because my hummingbirds will be here within 3 weeks. I get 2 to 3 dozen a year, and yes they drive me crazy. They empty 4 12 oz. feeders 2 times a day. I already know that I will get great pics and movies with this camera. I really don't know how you could ask for more for the money. Happy shooting!

Best

Very good

I would purchase from this seller again.

La calidad de la imagen es mala y el sonido se distorsiona un poco

動画を30分ほど撮影。 数分単位の区切りで撮影されているようなのですが、何故か動画ファイがほとんど破損して再生できません。 しかも録画途中のまん中らへんのファイルだけは何故か再生できる謎。 もちろん新品のSDカード使ってフォーマットもして。 まともに使えなかったです。
