It was taken as a camera that you can constantly carry with you. In principle, I am satisfied with the purchase, the device is really interesting, but for such a price it is stupid to demand excellent shots everywhere and always. If you need an inexpensive camera for recording short video clips that will fit in any pocket - take it, you won't regret it. Has pros: Lightweight and small, built-in USB, HD video recording, built-in software suite, easy to use (no hassle switching between photo/video) Some cons: Poor macro photography and shooting in dark rooms. Very few shooting modes, not very good video stabilization
