I'm actually really impressed with this thing. It's a LOT smaller than it looks in the product images, which was a happy accident for me. I had been shopping for a more compact one, but this thing fits really comfortably if I clip it horizontally from my belt loop. Part of my regular responsibilities include canvassing around my community, so I wanted to invest in something like this in the unlikely event that I encounter something that I need proof/footage of at a later date. For that purpose, the rotating camera is awesome to make people feel more secure that they aren't being recorded while the press-to-start switch makes for a super convenient way to start capturing at a moment's notice.
The screen isn't exactly the greatest, nor is the audio quality, but they're both absolutely acceptable given the sub-$100 price point for this device. Odds are, if you're getting a device like this, it's because your phone is either too big, too obvious, or inconvenient in some major way. There are some major compromises between a phone camera and this device, but the size, battery, and cost are what you're trading those conveniences for.
Now, I've seen a number of reviews dogging on the included microSD card, so I didn't even bother to try it out. I bought a 128 GB Silicon Power microSD, and it works perfectly with the camera once it's formatted (which the camera can do by navigating to the option in the menu). Odds are, you can even save money by going with the lower capacity model here and getting a bigger microSD card on your own.
