Ok.. I'm new to camcorders. I've never even held obe before today. I've always used my phone and been content. So getting this cam corder was a bit new to me. Still, this cam corder was pretty easy to figure out!
Now, here are some observations about what I did and did not like, and please keep in mind that I have no idea if this is normal for all cameras, or unique to this one.
LIKE: You can set the definition of videos and pictures. You can go full, or dial it back a bit if you're trying to save on memory card space.
This camera fits really comfortably in my hand. I can reach all the buttons easily enough, and I have kind of small hands.
The features are simple, but it still gives you a few fun options like the ability to change the recording mode from normal to sepia, or B&W, or blue/Red/green
DISLIKE: When I use the zoom toggle, the sound is picked up on the recording no matter how gently I try and use the button. Lots of clicks.
The strap that goes around your hand has Velcro to adjust, but everything is sewn in place, so you can't really adjust it too much . I pulled the strap till it was comfortable on my hand and I had no Velcro left to fasten down so I had to loosen it.
When I push the menu buttons (while not recording) there is a loud obnoxious beep every time, and I can't figure out a way to disable that.
SUMMARY: I like this camera and think it's a great option to learn with. A great introductory for kids and adults alike. I only had one problem when trying to use it. I pulled the SD card from my camera and popped it in, and every time I tried to take a picture, the screen would freeze all pixelated and the only way I could fix it was to remove the battery. So I read the instruction book again and realized I'd missed the part where it said if your SD card had been used, then you need to reformat it. So I popped it in my laptop, deleted all the old photos and reformatted it. That fixed it! Don't make my mistake! Read the whole instruction book lol!
