Wow what a purchase. The last camcorder I bought was over $200 and used minicassettes! The quality of the camera is amazing for only $100. I also liked how easy it was to use as a webcam. I just plugged it in with a USB cable, clicked the camera and everything was fine and I had a 720p webcam. It's 100x better than my laptop's webcam and perfect for live streaming. I like fixed focus because the camera never blurs. When I use my phone to record a video, it often adjusts the focus in the middle of the video and that makes the video terribly unprofessional. With this camera, every video will be of high quality and professionalism. Not to mention the battery powered microphone, stabilizer handle and remote control. This camera is amazing!
