Highly recommend this camera it has great quality, east to use, settings are great. The battery life isn’t as good but other than that it works well and its is very small and compact. The sound quality is also good

If you are looking for something to use for vlogging or just for quick photos and videos without using your phone, this is the one for you!

This camera is great for beginner vloggers and for use as a family camcorder to avoid using phone storage. I purchased this camera to take nice photos and start vlogging; however, I was not impressed with the photo quality. The auto focus is great, but the picture quality and video quality are not exactly pristine. I would say a step above an iPhone camera at best. I did not use this camera for several hours at a time, so I cannot speak on continued-use battery; however, the battery does die while not in use. Each day I picked up the camera to use it, I found the battery had died overnight. You will need backup batteries or to use it while plugged in. I would also suggest some sort of grip or L-bracket if you are not using a tripod to hold the camera because it’s pocket-sized and can feel small enough to slip out of your hands.

This is a great camera if you are just getting started or if you want something quick and on-the-go. HOWEVER, I would never recommend this to someone who wants to shoot professional looking videos. I have struggled with this camera a lot. The autofocus is horrendous and it’s super disappointing to record a whole video thinking I’m in focus only to find in the playback that I wasted my time. There is something about the autofocus that makes light around the subject fluctuate in brightness, one second it will be super bright and the next super dark and causes the videos to look terrible. I will be in focus, push record and do my thing then go back and look at the footage and the camera has been focused on the background and not me, wasting my time. I have played with all settings but the settings are very limited. Like with most budget cameras, the day I got it I was amazed and as time went on its like it lost its quality, I’m never sure why that is but it is especially true with this camera. I have played with all lighting and settings and the autofocus just fluctuates way too much — I would do manual focus but I don’t trust it to keep me in focus, and getting a camera for autofocus style vlogging, I expected it to work properly. The goal in creating this camera was definitely on the selfie, walking style vlogging because trying to shoot anything else with it is very challenging especially with the fixed lens. I would pay half the price that I did for it easily. Not worth the $500.

I grabbed this camera since it is in the budget range of dedicated cameras, and I can’t say the true quality of the vlogging capabilities, I can say what my initial experience of using it as a webcam replacement. I paired this with the Elgato Camlink 4K, and yes it can work with it. For whatever reason, I believe I set the camera to 4K, have a 4K HDMI cable paired to the Camlink, and I can’t seem to get hirer then 1080p on the computer. Don’t know if that is on the camera, camlink, or something I didn’t set up correctly. BUT speaking on the 1080p, its nice and clean. Paired with a proper light, looks nice and smooth. Better then a webcam in my opinion. Not sure if it’s fully worth it for a webcam replacement specifically, but I did pick this up to have the option to vlog, just haven’t done that personally yet. Still about 75% happy with the purchase though, but maybe your results will vary to mine!

I like the ease of use and it does record good video. However there is some small shakeyness to some of the video. Even with auto focus off and camera on tripod, it occasionally has some shutter to the video
