Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros:__________ - Very pleased with its 180 degrees layout and its 90 degrees face down. For those who want to be a part of their film, you’re going to appreciate it. - Its optical image stabilization is fantastic as the videos I took were not shaky or disorderly. I tested this out by walking while filming and driving with it on. You’re going to get some movement but compare to an iPhone this beats it out of the park. - Taking pictures with it give you an HD 1920x1080 resolution. - On my walking and driving test, I was getting 60 fps. Keep in mind that I was walking in a busy mall as the cam needed to adapt to numerous lighting issues (Was quite pleased with the fps over this). - You have the option for an HDMI output if you want to plug it into your TV. - Little to none noise distortion while filming. Of course, this will depend on your location, but for filming indoors (with outside traffic) you’re not going to hear a thing. - The video quality is very good as the cam captures a sharp detail layout of what it’s filming. You’re going to see what I mean when you film a cloud or a grassy lawn with this cam. - It’s a small compact cylinder which feels good in your hand, while not experiencing significant heat from it. - This is a “set and forget” type of camera as you really don’t need to do anything other than turn it on and press record. - Color, adjustment, stabilization are all automatic and yes you have the option to customize it yourself if you want to. - Biggest perk was the zoom feature. I believe you can go to 57x into a focal point, really impressive, as I never realize that I would spend 5 minutes of memory just for filming ants. - Little to none controls on this device as you can let anyone use it without the fear of them pressing anything that might ruined what you’ve already filmed. - Where you want to zoom, just point your figure and that’s it. Super easy to use. - A unique mode called highlight priority prevents your videos from being blown out. This means that you will lose some detail quality but more information on what you’re filming will be preserved. I don’t use it but it’s something to note. - 1080p on a 128 GB will give you 8 hours and reducing to 720 will give you up to16 hours of recording. - Really like that it has a built-in video editor as it’s easy to use and you don’t need to plug it in a computer to use it. I’ll find this a lifesaver if I’m on the road traveling. Cons and Oks:__________ - Sometimes I experience the video playback from my computer to be rough as something that you’ll see on a $50 camera. This only occurs sometimes when I’m using 1080p filming. This is not a constant basis but I think everyone should know because the view is fine when It’s on my TV (could be a software issue). - You’re going need to get an external microphone if you’re planning to talk with it on the road. Take it to Disneyland and no one will be able to hear what you’re talking about. - Regarding with the mic issue, keep in mind that it doesn’t have a manual audio control level for an external mic input. - You need to have a memory card installed in order to record. No built in memory. - Low lighting is not the best for this one. It’s alright but you’ll see the difference in quality compare to daytime filming, - Complete zoom out doesn’t give you a whole 180 degree viewing as its right at the fisheye lens. - No 4k resolution. Something that even $50 cameras have. - Not a lot of options in enhancement feature while filming. Bottom Line:__________ Families and social media bloggers are going to love this. It’s small, compact, a good battery life, and is something that doesn’t require extensive knowledge in video experience. I had a great time using it as the light/compact style made it fast and easy to turn it on and begin filming. These are the type of cameras you’re going to be taking it to the beach or at a special event. It brings a 1080p quality experience without forking over that much in income to buy it. Social media bloggers will love the size and image quality when filming but the microphone may be a deal breaker. It’s not bad but without a manual audio control level feature in the cam you won’t be able to know if your voice can be heard. Not to mention that 4k is now becoming the new 1080p where almost any new camera on the market will be adding this option. Overall it’s a decent camera with some impressive features. It’s not the best in the market but it’s nowhere near the worse. The price they offer justifies what you’re buying with this. Verdict: This is almost built for on the go, at a moment’s notice. If the mic issue isn’t a factor to you, then it’s a good bang for your buck. Hopefully, I was a help to you. Love, Honest Reviewer.
