Good quality but can't auto focus close objects. Read my tip to resolve.
Bought this refurbished from Amazon warehouse. Looks good as new and works pretty well. The picture quality is good as well as the microphone. Setup was a breeze and running this is simple, as well. Even my 3 year old knows how to click on the icon to get the camera running. Update: this camera has a macro auto focusing problem when you want to record something up close. For example, if you're recording yourself at about a foot or 2 away (arms distance), your image is clear, but if you hold something up to the camera, the image will be blurry because it doesn't auto focus. What you'll need to do is pop open the camera cover, remove the 3 tiny screws with a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 2nd camera cover to expose the lens. You'll see the lens has a circular cover that has ridges or a dial, if you will. Point the camera to a close object and slowly turn that dial either clockwise or counter clockwise until the image is focused. I believe it was clockwise to zoom closer. Don't focus too clearly because your images that are at arms distance or further will be blurry. You need to create a balance between close objects and arms distanced objects. Now hold your camera at the usual distance and refocus the camera until you get a balance. When you find a balance, replace the 2 covers and screws I rely heavily on honest helpful reviews when I shop and I want to help others make an informed decision as well.
