Ok, been a few months and too many YT videos. Mostly ranch-related, wildlife to indoor stuff but also hack film projects. Very happy with performance; works well; above-average accessories (xtra battery; cords, etc.) I film way too much stuff but in a filmable area to put it lightly so carried on hikes, in garden, around farm; good and compact and ok after inevitable drop or two. (Results may vary on latter!)
Gripes. Most perhaps "git off my lawn" old man stuff:
G1: The main "Start recording/stop" most popular button is a good size but, me at least, never have an easy time with it. Doesn't seem to respond each time or must push harder than you'd think, thus fumbling with the compact size and always accidentally touching other buttons (that don't trigger anything but still). May be me. Adult male but Nosferatu hands (say what?).
G2. The "night mode" night vision seems no different than reg and pretty useless beyond very close things that may be illuminated by the 3 tiny little lights that then come on. The cheaper one this replaced had amazing NV; got to read fine print on that. Note: all this general hobby; no big deals. So bought an "average" Amazon camcorder; not cheapest but dang close. This was discounted so another "step up" but not much. Seems better quality than last but prefer old one, no offense to this perfectly-functional one.
G3. "Dang, Ethel! You'd expect the nifty case provided to FIT the dang thing!" Ok, it DOES but not with the battery that extends its length enough so it won't fit in the case. BUT (git off my ... oh. did that) after I stubbornly jammed it in a few times, it stretched out. So like a new sock perhaps that needs a little pull. Moot in practice as I usually want if available faster so just put in a pocket. NOTE:
NOTHING NEGATIVE to it's reason for existence. Good value. Working great and happy with it. I know there are different forms of NV, few really the tech version so perhaps this just has a closeup or diff version I did not clue into and/or some control combo also missed. IT WORKS WELL FOR PRICE.
Rest pretty good. I wish the port for the memory card allowed a little more room to grab the damn thing but that's standard with all devices now (git off my lawn!). Pics are screenshots so cam's results may be better vs what shows up here. I like the options of a super HD, reg HD and VGA.
