Works great love the look and feel quality of the video is great too had a little bit of a difficult time, figuring out how to update the camera software, and if it actually applied and wish it was easier to change out the SD card otherwise absolutely love it
I want to give 5 stars because my daughters outcome of movies are great...I bought with hopes of doing the same but there's no instructions on how to actually get your movie clips off and create 1 continuous stream. I had to search YouTube to figure it out. You need to include steps on actually getting a finished video.
Finally convinced myself to get one. Glad I did, it’s been a blast to shoot with and now it looks like it’s sold out. I’ve really enjoyed how “analog” it’s been. It’s doing exactly what I thought it would. I am lucky that I got the revised version with a mic input and a cold shoe. I have noticed if I’m not looking thru the viewfinder I shoot lower than I think I am. Other than that’s it’s a blast… from the past.
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she took it with her to Ethiopia and she puts on events over in Africa and everybody was freaking out at the events when she pulled it out. They all wanted to know where she got it. They all wanted one. It was a huge hit.!
I am the TrueMentors Coordinator at TrueNorth Community Services in Fremont, Michigan. One of the programs that I coordinate is call Parks in Focus. Each year, we take a group of 10 middle school students to Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore for mentoring and photography. It is a life changing event for all of our students. One that allows them to be 'unplugged' and instead: 'locked in' to the moment that they are in and the world that surrounds them. They then become alumni in the program and get to go on mini adventures throughout the year. Camp Snap is a perfect collaborator in this mission, and I am looking forward to teaching how to be locked in to the world around them in the video world. Creating a documentary of their adventures... without the screen.
I love it, it's so fun and easy to use. I bring it on every adventure so my my phone isn't overloaded with all the videos I like to take, and it keeps me in the moment not being able to review anything until I get home to download it all. I do recommend switching out the SD card for something larger as soon as you get it so you don't have to worry about running out of space. There's 2 things that I think would make it even better: 1.) a lens cover, I'm always paranoid I'm gonna scratch it. 2.) the ability to lock the trigger while recording so I could pass the camera around to friends or flip it around to face myself without a break in the recording or having to maneuver my hand in a weird way.
