I liked this camera for its ease of use and quality. to make it really useful. For example external power supply, other power supply or many batteries. I also bought a cage and an external recorder. To this cage I added a button to have a smoother video. I didn't like the color the video came out and found it harder to rate than other cameras I've used. This camera seemed to require more effort to get to a place where I could use it well than I was willing to invest in it. Great camera, but takes some getting used to.
