Video Camera Camcorder 2.7K 36MP UHD IR Night Vision Digital Camcorder 16X Digital Zoom 3 inch IPS Touch Screen Video Camcorder with Microphone, Lens Hood and Camera Holder

Very compact and capable little camcorder/camera for under £100 On unboxing i was really pleasantly surprised of just how good the finish is on this little camera it looks and feels like it should be more expensive! It comes with an instruction manual, hdmi lead, 2 X batteries, micro usb lead for charging although there was no charger, I had to use my smartphone charger as a means of charging the battery. It also comes with a microphone, lens sun screen and a nice ergonomic handle, there is also a small soft case for storing the camera. All the accessories can be mounted/dismounted for the users own preferences, there is also a remote control which is really handy if you are blogging etc. The LCD touch screen is fully rotatable and is nice and clear with an easy to use menu screen, you can use the buttons on the camera itself or use the touch screen to Navigate. If however you have sausage fingers like me navigating using the touchscreen can be a bit awkward but certainly not impossible. The camera does not come with an SD card so you will need to add one for video and picture storage etc, if you are using a micro SD card you will need an adapter! What's the video and picture quality like? To be honest your certainly not going to win any academy awards with this, however the video quality is pretty decent and the still pictures are not bad either. I do think there is a little embellishment claiming a full 36 MP on this little camera so If you are looking for a pro performance camera/camcorder then this is not for you. For me the unit delivers enough quality for what I need, some movie footage trekking with my dogs also some nice still pictures, and for under £100 I'm certainly not going to cry if I drop or damage it. Would I recommend this? Definitely, a light compact camcorder for an amateur blogger or someone that wants to take movies and stills perhaps on holiday without breaking the bank, or worried about it getting broken or stollen, for under £100 your certainly not going to loose any sleep over it.

I have to admit that I wasn't expecting anything this good for less than £100. But in fact I really can't fault the quality of the hardware or the video that it creates. As promised, the package comes with a separate external microphone (with detachable wind baffle), lens cap and lens hood, a remote control, a spare battery, a soft case, cables and a hand mount for mobile filming. All of this is well made, with sturdy plastics being used on several items. The camera itself is light and very easy to use. If I'd paid £200 for this, I'd actually be satisfied with the value - and that's saying something. The video output is AVI format with photos in JPG. I've found that the touch screen often needs several presses to register my touch, but I have that problem on lots of devices for some reason. My only criticism would be with the documentation, which shows its Chinese origins - its meaning isn't always clear and it could do with better illustrations. But you do get manuals for the camera and the external microphone and, while not detailed enough, they give enough info to get started. So, overall I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a good, high quality video camera for home or outdoor filming at a bargain price. What more can I say?

I gave it 4 stars because once i get used to it i'm sure it will be fine for my purpose(recording my music acoustically). However my main gripe is lack of instructions!For a novice like me i NEED to be shown in diagrams really. The 1st thing is it doesn't give you ANY indications how to put the battery & SD card in,although i figured it out for myself. Secondly the touch screen is a fiddle with the size of the screen and(for me anyway)i have to press it 2 or 3 times! Thirdly the general instructions are almost non existant and as for the remote control....well i couldn't find playback on it and just have to guess what the buttons do! BUT,with all this in mind i do believe its a handy bit of kit for the price,but certainly NOT for a novice.

First of all let me qualify what I'm about to say. This is a perfectly reasonable, value for money digital camcorder. For the price it gives what you would expect. The picture quality is ok and the package is a good one overall. No complaints about that. The zoom is digital, not optical but that is reasonable for the price and it does the job. The touch screen works ok but feels and looks like it's a couple of generations old; it's still fair for the price and it does the job. You get the picture? It does a fair job for the price. However, the real reason for me choosing it was because it advertises itself as a streaming video camcorder and this is its weakness. The streaming facility seems to me like a last minute add-on; it's certainly not its major function. In fact just using it to do a simple face-to-face stream using OBS, it would freez up within a minute or so. Dropping the frame rate to an acceptable 30FPS and reducing the streaming bit rate made little difference and so it is no good to me in that function which is disappointing. Fortunately I had need of a basic camcorder and it fits the bill perfectly for that. If you want a simple to use, value for money camcorder for recording video, I would happily recommend it. If you want a camera for streaming live video, look elsewhere.
