I've had this camera for a long time. I use it weekly to record sermons. The quality is generally good. I use a recording pack and the audio is great. Without a backpack and at a distance of about 20 feet, it works well. Not good. The image quality is good, especially when there is sufficient light. It's a bit fiddly at night, or when the room isn't lit, doesn't look that great. It is very compact to carry. It has various functions, I used the manual setting to control the microphone, but it has its drawbacks. It doesn't have many features other than some settings that don't affect the recording.
