I bought this camcorder because my 10 year old daughter wants to be a YouTuber lol. At the moment it is very easy to use and has good sound quality. The only downside for us personally is that you can't pause while recording a video, you have to start a new video and then edit them to merge them. Since my daughter tries to write down the recipes, she has to pause while the cookies bake, then write again when they're done, etc., etc., and since she can't do that, we end up with about 5 videos. ,
