I was filming on my iPad and wanted something more professional and it was a total CRASH! I've seen negative reviews but I've also seen good and clear videos people have uploaded. I used professional lighting and everything was grainy and my voice didn't even sound right. I tried using my professional microphone but it didn't recognize anything was plugged in. I'm so busy, frustrated and sad. Save an extra $100 and get a Sony Handycam. I know it's exciting and you really need a video camera, but when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. I don't know why there are so many good reviews. Also, I shot for about 10 minutes and the battery life went from full to almost half. It's just not worth it!
