This is a great product for what it is designed to do . I have recently purchased this to record my family moments and I would like to mention the amazing qualities the camera has. I have written a list of some of the pros that I had enjoyed below:- Zoom: The zoom is amazing! The camera comes with a few digital zoom options that allow me to record clear videos from afar. This is especially useful when going on vacations, and can provide a clear shot at around 50 meters away.- Battery life: The battery lasts forever! I like to film long recordings or videos and yet my battery has never died in one session. When it is not in use, It can remain at 100% for days, unlike my previous handheld camera that would often reach 50% even when not in use.- Price: The price was very good for the product, and it is an excellent cheaper alternative to it's competitors. The functionality and features it comes with, as well as the very clean camera quality, make this a smart purchase.- Microphone: The camera also comes with an external microphone, which I really appreaciate. The microphone works well, audio is clear and great for recording concerts, shows or other events. This is also a great addition to the cost friendly point I made, since now I don't have to search for a cheap external mic to purchase with this camera. It also comes with an internal mic, in case you don't need the external one.-Carrying case: The camera came with a cloth case that has a small layer of built in padding for that extra bit of protection. This also makes this product more convienent to take with you on travels, since now you can simply place it in your bag without worrying about getting the lens dirty or the camera breaking. This also allowed me to save time, by not having to search for a camera case.Video Quality: The video quality was surprisingly good quality, especially for this price. The camera quality is 5K Ultra HD. The zoom is very strong, and it appears rather clear, compared to the blurriness from other cameras I have tried or smartphones. It works great in all types of environments and lighting (bright sunlight or fairly dim indoor settings). I will mention however, the camera does not come with night vision, but regardless the lens quality does not disappoint and is comparable to a $1000 DSLR. Overall, the lens and camera quality is very great and I have had no issues so far. It's extra features such as the case and mic were also very useful. The camcorder itself is a good compact size and easy to fit in a small bag or backpack for travelling. So if your looking for a cheaper alternative to brandname camcorders but don't want to miss out on all the quality features, you'll love this camera.
