Camcorder is well worth what I paid
For the price, I did not expect much. However, the camera does indeed take decent videos. I only use 1080P 60FPS mode and while it does not compare to my video shot on my 400 dollar Canon camcorder, it's not bad. I wish I had spent $20.00 extra and bought the model with image stabilization, but too late now. One problem I had was that in the auto power off mode, the camera would shut itself off, and I could not get it to turn back on without pulling out the battery and reinserting. I shut the auto battery/power saver off on the menu and this corrected the problem. The camera has a short learning curve. I wanted a discrete small camera to use candidly and also mount on the handlebars of my bike and it works good, as well as a dash cam in my car. However, hanging the camera on my chest and walking around, there is just too much jumping around without image stabilization. The sound is about fair, but for my purposes, it is ok as I am not interviewing anyone. As I said, if I had it to do over again, I would buy the camera model with image stabilization. However, I am happy with the purchase as I could not afford a Go-Pro. Decent resolution inside a house with just daylight. For me, battery life is OK, as I have shot 20 minutes continuous video on one of the two batteries that come with it.
