We bought this camera this winter and we absolutely love it! While initially my motivation for purchase was for my kids to have a screen-free video camera, I use it way more than they do. In the last 4 months I have documented trips we have taken, a special birthday party for a friend, and our average every day lives. The CS-8 is so easy to use and the video quality is far better than I expected. And it is a conversation starter! People are always so interested to learn more about this camera!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the CS-8 with mic even more. I have a couple of reviews on my YouTube channel. Recently also reviewed the new one with the mic.
It's a great proof of concept product, I'm really looking forward to the next version whenever they make one. Pros: easy to use, footage looks cool & grainy. Cons: the trigger feel is really cheap/weak. it's not super clear when it is actually recording, grip handle is a little short.
