Video Camera Camcorder Digital Camera Recorder Full HD 1080P 15FPS 24MP 3.0 Inch 270 Degree Rotation LCD 16X Zoom Camcorder with 2 Batteries(604s)

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!! :-)

i bought this for the new additions to my family. my sil & baby neph - (he's a first - first great grand & grandson, etc.) just like how my bro and i can look back at our home videos of our childhood, i wanted to offer that for my neph and his mom. easy to operate, sound is good, clear enough - it gives the home video aesthetic i was looking for.

Had this a few years now or so..Batteries last about 30 minutes each. When recording long videos it breaks the video up into multiple files. Not familiar with cameras but I thought that was weird. I've lost videos due to corruption a time or two.Video quality is what you can expect for the price. Audio quality is about the same and not that loud and does not allow for external mic unfortunately.Great for a kid to use. I tried using it to make YouTube videos and it's just ok. Obviously you need to pay almost a grand to get any kind of video/audio quality from something like this.

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!

Ordered this after seeing people on TikTok make videos with it. If I could give it 0 stars I would. I purchased this in hopes of using it for my sisters engagement and my wedding. Put the new battery in and a brand new SD card. When I went to turn it on the next day for the proposal it said low battery. I took the battery out and put it back in thinking maybe it wasn’t in right. But nope same thing low battery then turned off. I didn’t even get to record 10 seconds on it!!! Didn’t last a chance for the proposal
