I bought this camcorder for my husband but I liked it so much I think I should it more than can use it. First of all, you can't beat the price, especially for such a high quality camera! It's 26.0MP that delivers incredible high-definition images and records 1080P videos at 30fps. It even includes an IR LED for night vision, which I really like, and allows you to create great black and white photos and/or high-resolution videos. The camcorder has a 16x digital zoom function, as well as anti-shake, motion detection, slow motion, face detection, beauty filter, loop recording, interval recording, record-while-charging, and photo-while-recording. And those are just the ones that come to mind, I'm sure there are more. It has a WiFi function that allows you to connect it to your phone or tablet for instant download and sharing. There is a professional external microphone that uses XY Stereo Sound technology, which makes the audio crystal clear and free from background noise. It also has a remote control which we used to take great family photos. The remote works via IR with 360Β° capability and can work over 60 feet away! The video touchscreen rotates 270Β° for easy viewing regardless of the environment. The camera itself is lightweight and easy to carry, and comes with its own storage bag.
