This is the first camcorder I've owned since my grandfather bought it in the 90's and it's amazing to see how technology has advanced. It's so small, light and easy to use. The photo function works very well and the video is clear. There's also a night feature that shoots in black and white, which I haven't tried yet but will eventually. It also works as a webcam and can broadcast live. It has everything you need including 2 batteries. You need a tripod and an SD card (I bought a Samsung EVO 64g) with an adapter. The guide is really complete and gets you up and running quickly. Overall, I think this is a great suggestion for first-time YouTube/TikTok users. Get it and have fun!
