This camcorder can take some pretty nice looking video. Although I wish the resolution went all the way up to 4k, its max resolution looks crisp and clear. I was curious why they chose 2.7k rather than 1440p so I did some calculations and realized 1520p/2.7k is slightly over 4 million pixels. Whereas 1080p is a bit over 2 million and 4k has about 8.3 million. On the other hand, 1440p contains roughly 3.7 million. Meaning 1520p better scales up to 4k by multiplying by 2, and 2.7k downscales to 1080p almost perfectly by dividing by 2. I wish 1520p monitors were a thing. Anyway, that's enough resolution talk, just know that this camcorder at 2.7k looks far more crisp than 1080p, and imo 2.7k looks closer to 4k than it does 1080.
Probably my #1 con for this camera is that when filming at 2.7k you have to film at 30fps. As you can see in the picture I attached, at 1080p you can choose between 1080p 60 frames per second or 1080p 30fps. At 720p you can choose from 30, 60, and 120fps. The buttons and control scheme are fairly intuitive, they do the job with relative ease and that's what matters. The actual display on the camcorder looks decent but it's incapable of truly showcasing the clarity and color of the actual video you can record with this. So whatever you take photos or videos of should look way better when you look at it on a monitor or tv (depending on the quality of the screen you have). This camcorder comes with a nice little case that's compact and keeps the device safe. The battery seems to last about as long as advertised, so I've never had a problem with it running out of battery life on me. It recharges with USB C and the battery can easily be removed. If the camera is plugged in charging you can take the battery out and it will continue running solely from the USB C cable, the video will even continue recording without interruption.
For a low priced camcorder this has met my expectations as well as the expectations I developed based off reading the product description. I just wish it came with a memory card. Fortunately, they're pretty cheap these days so I bought a 128GB SDXC card for no more than $10. The 256GB of internal storage on my phone is over 80% full so it's nice to have a camcorder like this when I want to film a lot of video without worrying about running out of space. The simplicity of this camera, with it having no internet connectivity nor requiring me to log into any services is a positive for me in this case.
