Review: You are not buying this camera for the best video quality, but the sound is fantastic. - I purchased this to record our performances. We can plug our stage microphones directly into the camera which eliminated the noise from the audience. The multi-directional microphones on top work great if you want to pick up everything. They are too good if you only want the performance. Like others have said, you are not buying this camera for the best video quality, but the sound is fantastic.
Review: Honest Review from Media Producer - I did a ton of research on this camera prior to purchasing it, I read and watched a lot of reviews online, and can say that this camera performed great on set. You should watch the videos and understand the limitations - I am using this camera as an alternate camera for documentary shoots - I use it for a super wide angle on the subject/entire set. After watching the reviews and hearing about the grainy video, I was super attentive to this issue - yes in low light the camera is not broadcast quality (fine for home movies/personal use), however on a professionally well-lit documentary set the camera most certainly a broadcast quality camera and can be a great asset to the filmmaker. You also need to be careful about the field of view settings, and to achieve true 4k recording it needs to be set on the widest field of view. Again, if you research and understand the limitations of this camera and use it on a professionally lit set, you will have zero issues.

### ⭐ Worst video camera and quality ever!!!!!!
*by W***L on December 15, 2025*

This camera has the worst video quality I have ever seen. How can this be 4K video??? It is so grainy and so terrible in lowish light. We need to record music solos and when we do and the lighting is home lights it looks like a video recorded on the first cell phone. The audio is good, but it isn't that much better than a phone. It is such a disappointment. Plus, you can't zoom, the brand is zoom but you can't zoom in your video you can only select 4 present widths for field of view. This is a horrible video camera.
