Get it for the camcorder, not the projector
on September 30, 2014
Posted by: JaredBodine
As a camcorder, it takes great video, has a wonderful optical zoom capability. I like the wifi pairing remote view and controls with my iPad or Android phone. The NFC doesn't' seem to work with my Galaxy S4, I suspect it works best with Sony phones. The stills are pretty sub-par. I would rather use my phone for pics than this thing.
I got this camcorder with a dual-purpose intent. I had a pico projector before, so I decided to get this which has a projector and HDMI input in lieu of a camcorder and separate pico projector. I knew it had low lumens going in, but yikes, it really has difficulty. Using it to review captured content is convenient and pretty good, but it really struggles for decent HDMI input playpack. It's dim, low resolution, there is some weird side-glow artifacts, the color saturation is off, and the contrast is horrible. I tried watching the 1989 Batman on it, I could hardly make out anything, even in a very dark room. Bright videos that don't require you seeing detail are ok. It's almost useless if you hook in your laptop and try to use it. It's better to just use your laptop screen.
In summary, If you want first and foremost to take high quality 1080p videos (not so much pics), you'll do fine with this. The projector is a fun quick playback feature, but not very practical for much else.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the Camcorder
on September 30, 2014

I have not used the camcorder a lot since my purchase. I bought it because my husband and I both took the same snapshots on our trip to Scotland last fall and I wanted a different view from his for the next trip. Now we need to go somewhere special. I have used it around home and my only complaint is that it takes a long time to start up and many menu options to go through before you can record. Sometimes the event I want to record is over by then.

My family really likes this camcorder with built-in projector and hdmi cable also. Its so convenient if you want to project footage right where you stand you can. It will give us lasting memories of our daughter college rugby career and of our grandson.

VERY LIGHT, RECORDS BOTH VIDEO & STILL PICS. VERY GOOD RESOLUTION ON ALL. PROJECTORS' MENU IS ON WALL OR WEREEVER YOU'RE POINTING IT (TOP OF TABLE) SO YOU HAVE TO SCROLL THRU WHILE WATCHING ON WALL/TABLE - NOT VERY EASY TO SEE. CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD OTHER VIDEO TO SHOW WITH PROJECTOR - THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT IT. PC CONNECTION IS EASY TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS/PICS.

It's pretty easy to operate and the video and audio quality is very good. Battery life is average. The only two things I'd like to see as an improvement, would be a better wind reduction function or reengineering of the microphone placement or design. Also an addition of an external microphone input would have made me possibly give this 5 stars... I would recommend this camera to just about anyone. It's a good value for the money overall.
