kicteck Video Camera Camcorder Digital Camera Recorder Full HD 1080P 15FPS 24MP 3.0 Inch 270 Degree Rotation LCD 16X Zoom Camcorder with 2 Batteries(604s)

I found this camera to be extremely easy to use. Just open the view screen & press record. The image quality is excellent & the sound is acceptable. The built-in speaker is OK for checking that the sound was recorded, but you will definitely want to copy the video file to a computer to hear the actual recorded sound. I was surprised that the battery had a charge when I removed it from the box, so I was able to try the camera out right away. There is no memory card included, but I happened to have one from another camera that worked fine. (A 32 GB SD card is only about $7, so it's not a huge extra expense.) There is a bit of a trade-off with video resolution & frame rate. The FHD mode is 1080p, but only 15 fps, but HD mode is 720p & 30 fps. I can certainly live with the slightly lower resolution & higher frame rate. I tried this camera in fairly low light & it produced a decent image on the auto ISO setting. I suspect that the low light image might be a bit sharper at ISO 100, if it's anything like other digital cameras I've had. All in all, this is a really good value.

***Updated 12/15/19: I contacted the sellers of the camera, in regards to the zoom not working, and they responded back immediately! They did not hesitate to offer a replacement or to return my money. I opted for a replacement. The process was simple and fast. Pain free and no cost to me. I got the new camera before I sent the new one back! Works amazing! The zoom came loose during delivery and it was not an error on the sellers end. They have been kind and very prompt in response. Great quality even when using full zoom! Camera is decently light and easy to carry around in my purse. See next paragraph for other positive first notes. Packaging was well done, secure and came with 2 batteries, charging wire, AC wires as well as a charging box for wire. I turned the camera on and had and I discovered I couldn't zoom. The zoom button at the top was jiggly and loose which made it hard to get the camera to zoom in and out with ease as it's suppose too. I am overall happy with the light weight and quality of video and pictures, however having to fidget with the zoom button just to use it, is a bit frustrating. This is why I gave overall 3 stars. (Issue fixed now I gave 5 stars!)

First what I really like about this camcorder is the size. It's small enough to pack easily into a purse or bag and it still has all the functionality I need. The zoom is great, very smooth. I'm left-handed and the controls are still easy enough for me to navigate with my right hand. The price is great. I bought this as a gift for my kids who travel but aren't always careful with their stuff, so I didn't want to get anything too expensive. The only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is for a couple design issues. You have to open the viewer to charge the camera. It's a little awkward and means you have to leave the viewer open and it and the controls inside are vulnerable while itls charging. It also didn't come with a lens cover. The other issue is that the body is more plastic than metal, but for the price I guess thats to be expected. However, the extra battery that comes with it is a great feature. I didn't realize it didn't come with an SD card (my mistake for not reading LOL) but that was easily remedied. All in all a great buy.

This Video Camera Camcorder is super fun! First off, the price is right! It has all the major features you'd need to do some basic picture taking, some HD video recording, and some vlogging. Right out of the box, things were easy. I unpackaged and attached one of the two batteries, opened the LCD display, and the camera turned right on, welcoming me. A Menu button got me some options, and I could set the Date and Time, video quality, 4 differents effects, including sepia tone, and whether I wanted my video date stamped or not. I could also change a few other functions. The Camcorder's screen must be open in order to access the cover for the charging and component video output. The included cable uses a specialized connection, instead of a standard mini or micro-USB, so you want to keep track of the cable. I turned the camera off to charge the batteries. Functions allow for you to show the options on the display, turn them off, or turn off the display completely while in use! The Camcorder features a 16x zoom feature, but as there are no moving lens parts, at least on the outside, its probably being done digitally. If you try to zoom while shooting, there was no noticable noise, but the zooms happen suddenly, sort of jerking in, like a cool effect, not a smooth Hollywood zoom. In most cases you'd zoom before pressing record, so this shouldn't be too big of an issue. The Camcorder boasts some image stabilization, but this is a feature that is apparently always on, or it could have potentially helped with the zoom feature. And although the product features and listing make it clear, don't expect 1080p Full HD at 30 frames per second. When in that mode, it appears to drop down to 15 fps. 30 fps can be had at the 720. There is also a little LED illuminator light, but don't expect too much in dark rooms, or for it to add much, really. However, there is a place you could add an external powered light on the top. Photo mode has some additional options for taking pictures, including anti-shake, smile capture, and face detection. Missing seems to be any sort of timer. I haven't used this mode very much. The Camcorder's screen must be open in order to access the cover for the charging and component video output. The included cable uses a specialized connection, instead of a standard mini or micro-USB, so you want to keep track of the cable. I turned the camera off to charge the batteries. All in all, for the price, this is a great little camcorder, if one takes into account, again, the price, and the intended market, beginning vloggers. This isn't a GoPro or action camera, and is more for a bedroom vlog, than a Hollywood blockbuster. But, as the camera seems sturdy and robust, it's probably great for kids or teens or very basic vlog use. And, as it records to SD card, you could even use this in situations where you're worried about damaging some more expensive equipment, and still be able to get the SD card out to capture your footage!

Let me start by saying I've been using camcorders since Jr High school back in the 90s so I've had my fair share of different devices. With that said, this particular camcorder is a perfect starter one. I purchased this for my step daughter to use because she's always wanting to make videos to try to become the next YouTube Star. Here are some quick bullet points to help you decide if this is best for you. • Great picture quality. I was really surprised by it actually. Most camcorders take very low quality. This one is definitely better than some other camcorders I've used. • Zoom ok. It does have zoom, but it is digital and isn’t super smooth. • Small and portable. It will fit in your pocket, but I wouldn’t recommend walking around like that because it would look funny with how it would bulge out. • Buttons at your fingertips. For the most part you can operate all the functions to record/take photos with just one hand. This is great if you need a free hand to do other things. • Decent case. The case it comes with seems like good quality. It even has a belt loop to use if needed. • Battery life is ok. Don’t expect to be using this for hours. It does come with two though which is nice. This might just be a limitation because it’s so small. • Lightweight. It can be carried with just your pinky. This is nice if you are gifting it to a child because it will be less likely to be dropped. • Records sound. This can be used to just record sound and without video. This is super handy if you just want to do a voice memo or maybe even a singing solo. I have included a video with some footage from the camcorder itself and combined the clips. I tried to make it just around a minute long because I know I hate watching long videos. The first two clips are video with natural sound. Then a photo I took with the camera and added background sound that I recorded with the sound recording feature. This was all done in a free video editing program. To sum it all up, this is a great camera for beginners as most of the reviews and description of the product states. The price can’t be beat for what you get.

I purchased this camcorder a while back, and despite my low expectations, this device has exceeded them all. Tremendously. I'd say this is on-par with my 2001 Sony Handicam (that cost me about $800 at the time), only without the night-vision option, and not as good in less-than-optimal lighting. At the seller explains (repeatedly, to a bunch of people who seem to think they won the lottery and are getting a $1,000 camcorder at this price), this is NOT a professional-quality camcorder. I compared its video quality to my DSLR, my go pro, and my compact digital camera under a variety of lighting conditions. Under good lighting, I believe it meets its stated 1080p/24MP performance. Where I noticed a difference was in shooting in low light (including natural light indoors). To make a long story short . . . if you're looking for an easy-to-use and easy-to-carry inexpensive alternative to a smartphone for shooting video, I think you'll be pleased. If you think you just won the lottery when you looked at the price, you're thinking about this all wrong. In good lighting, it performed well, and when frame rate and resolution were the same, comparably in most regards (though the white-balance was a bit funny in that my Nikon DSLR and go pro both have similar white balance, I had to edit it somewhat when doing multi-camera edits with this camera, as it tended to be a bit warmer). Shooting indoors under high-intensity lighting for a professional photo-shoot, this little camcorder does surprisingly well. In outdoor full-sun, the same. I wouldn't put it against a full-frame DSLR, but for this price, who would reasonably expect that? In short, here's the scoop: *Works great in good lighting, still and video *Gets grainy fast in low lighting, just like (most) cell phones or inexpensive point-and-shoots *ABSOLUTELY worth the money if all you want is a utilitarian camera for good light conditions Perfect for: *Someone just playing with a dedicated camcorder for the first time, or the first time in a while *Someone with a child that dreams of being the next big YouTube content producer (it may delay their asking for all the expensive garbage that YouTube content producers are now telling all the masses are just-the-thing to make it big, but probably not, since the current band of YouTubers is so convincing to malleable young minds) *Someone looking for a camera/camcorder that they won't cry if it is destroyed *Someone looking for an inexpensive camcorder for any reason, who is willing to live with less-than-optimal performance under low-light conditions Not perfect for: *Someone expecting studio-quality, or even DSLR-quality, in lower light

Ok I bought this camera based off the reviews, and I understand their business concept and why they have 5 stars.. it's an amazon thing 😶. But I had to return the camera because after playing with it for a while I couldn't figure out how to play my videos back and even with my SD card inside the camera for some reason my videos and pictures kept getting deleted.. if I turned it off they deleted.. if I went to recording mode and went back they deleted.. I'm not sure if they all do this but no matter how many I recorded on the camera they all deleted. I'm not sure if they just saved on my SD card but the camera only aloud my to watch the video once or look at the picture once.. then it self deleted.. the quality is very good the sound is good.. I just don't like that my videos and pictures won't save like the average camera

It is by far the lowest budget camcorder I could possibly find on Amazon. I only need it for evidence of my actions at my business. I don't need something too high quality. I don't need something with all kinds of functions and buttons that I don't understand. I am not very tech savvy. All I need is a simple zoom in zoom out, power on power off, record, playback, and that's about it. This camcorder only supports SD cards that are 32 GB. I don’t know if there is an option for higher memory card that this camcorder would support. however, I'm going to stick with the 32gb since I don't really need it for much else other than 30-minute recordings or so. I absolutely love how small and compact this thing is. I bought this along with a 32gb memory card, memory card reader, as well as a tripod and I got everything for about $110. Not bad for what I need it for. Just as a FYI this does not support external microphone setup. Also, you will have to format your SD card while it is inside the camcorder. Without doing this your videos will not show up as a readable files on your computer. This is also a great option if you are new to vlogging or making videos. It is pretty much foolproof with a point and shoot easy operation for starting videos. Eventually I might buy something better.

Best

Very good

I would purchase from this seller again.

La calidad de la imagen es mala y el sonido se distorsiona un poco

動画を30分ほど撮影。 数分単位の区切りで撮影されているようなのですが、何故か動画ファイがほとんど破損して再生できません。 しかも録画途中のまん中らへんのファイルだけは何故か再生できる謎。 もちろん新品のSDカード使ってフォーマットもして。 まともに使えなかったです。
