4K Video Camera Camcorder 48MP UHD WiFi IR Night Vision Vlogging Camera for YouTube 16X Digital Zoom Touch Screen Camera Recorder with Microphone, Handheld Stabilizer, Lens Hood, Remote,2 Batteries

I don't use a camera but my phone whereas my husband films an online show, having just finished his 13th season. We both used the camera, so I could report as both novice and semi professional views. I unboxed the camera and put the battery in, etc. I found the camera easy to use but slightly complicated to understand what setting you needed for what. Once I understood the basics I was able to use it with ease. My husband gave me a few tips when I didn't understand something. I only looked at the manual a few times. My husband used it to try and film his show alongside his regular camera but for some reason it didn't take. Idk if it was a card issue or user error. The quality of video and audio is acceptable. We had a few instances where the filming seemed to glitch but could have been user error. I need more time playing with it I think. However, I think it's a great starter camera for the price.

This 4K camera really delivers. I've used it twice to film panels for interviews. The microphone works great. Some things to watch out for are that the included microphone requires charging to operate. The camera comes with 2 batteries and they can get you through at least 2-3 hours of usage. That is more anecdotal than anything else. Your usage may get more battery. The camera mounted easily to my tripod with its universal mount. I do recommend a tripod. The way to make a cheap tripod work like an expensive one is to hang weights on the hook. It really is too good to be true. Getting the video to the computer is a snap as well. There are various interfaces and an easy method to exchange via wifi method. (I still use the ancient windows picture importer)

I don't have a lot of expectation but I expect some thing to work. The zoom barely zoomed in. In a room that is 20' we have tv at one end. I wanted to be able to zoom in on just the screen from 15', but it was able to zoom in that close. 2nd the battery charge didn't last very long. And when I went to charge it seem to never charge despite the light saying it was charged. I left charging for over two hours. The remote came with a dead battery. I had to replace, then it worked. The picture and audio were go - no complaints. I just needed the zoom and battery to charge. I returned the product. Amazon quickly refunded me.

If you want some cheap for recording still videos this is for you. The camera doesn't have video stabilization therefore if you are moving all over the place your video will be jumpy. The microphone is noisy because is cheap. This camera is best for recording something inside a room mounted on a stand or tripod.

Some people seem to miss that this camera requires the additional purchase of an SD card. The one I bought is 128GB, U3, Class 10, V60 and it works well. Files can be transferred to a computer via the USB port. When starting out, make sure the camera battery is FULLY charged. The power button on the remote will not work initially until the first full charge. Thereafter, it works regardless the battery level. I could find no instruction for attaching the hood. I figured out how to put it together and attach it by looking at buyers’ and reviewers’ images – and still had a part left over! I agree with another reviewer that the input ports are awkward. They would be better on the other side of the camera so as to not interfere with closing the screen. Video: most of the default settings work for me except a couple. I use softbox studio lighting and my best setting for White Balance is Fluorescent and for Exposure is -3. I’m getting good output true to color with clear image. Audio: using the included external microphone, 0db is best for my indoor voice but the volume is pretty low. Turning it up to 100% while replaying on my computer revealed an underlying hiss. I ran it through editing software with volume boost and noise reduction and it turned out well. However, using my lavalier microphone was far better – no fiddling needed. So, although I’m disappointed with the microphone, and question how well it would work outdoors, the fact that this 4K camcorder has an external microphone jack for my own lavalier and that its overall function is good are reasons enough to keep it.

There's no focus required for this camera. It tends to do fairly well with video but extremely well with audio. Go figure. The range is limited but in a small studio, it just doesn't matter. I really like this camera. At a fair price, it has good quality, so for a non-professional, it's just all-around, a good initial camera for just about everything I've created with it, so far. It's not professional, however it does just fine for an inspired content creator, like me.

Looking for a good and cheap camera to give my son (7yo) for Christmas for his YouTube channel, I came across this camera that in the description seemed to offer what I was looking for, besides that most of the comments were positive so I decided to give it an opportunity. When the package arrived, I started to unpack and give it a try, I was really surprised with the quality of both the camera and the microphone, the video image in 4k and 30 FPS is excellent as seen in the video attached to this review, but I would recommend a light source to film in dark places to get a better image, the camera comes without storage capacity, so I recommend buying an sd card when you buy this camera, so you can use it as soon as it arrives. The accessories all look very good quality, it can be said that the camera is everything that the description says it is, although at the time of this review I still have to test other functions such as the Wi-Fi connection and the total battery life, because I had to put the camera back in the box again to give it to my son for Christmas. Any other comments that I have, maybe I could make an update later.

Good should also buy a storage card when purchasing this item
