oh man, i think i have the same cam. if i remember correctly one thing to get the best possible picture out of it was ensuring PLENTY of light. Full sunlight was always looked the best.
i bought an earlier model about 10 years ago. It finally failed me yesterday when the stop/start button stuck. I went to several stores and could not find this model, because they were sould out. I bought a very inexpensive vivitar for $99. It was terrible. I will return it later today. I purchased this model from amazon for $228 with free same day shipping. I know I will be pleased with it because I was very pleased with the one i purchased earlier.

Great video thank you so much. subbed
I got this camera in 2018 when i started graduate school ❤
great video!
may sound stupid, but is it possible to lower the recording resolution for a more retro feel?
Yes. But you might wanna go with an older camcorder then.

Can we use this for live steaming like to do online lecture....
I bought this camcorder in a pawn shop for around $115 usdll and I love it.
It’s a great camcorder. Love the zoom on it.
It's hard to judge quality when the camera is moving around so much. I'm almost sold on this camera but 4K is still a better quality but at a price.
A Panasonic hc vx981 would be better then this one

How about the mic ? Is it good???
I have one and it's very good!
Mic is very good compared to a lot of cameras. I got this recently and was shocked by the mic quality.
