I like everything about the camera except one thing that I consider major. Having to keep your finger on the trigger all the time while shooting is a problem. I would like to put the camera on a tripod and get into the video myself. Can't be done as there is no trigger lock. I consider this a major omission.
Pure Nostalgia comes free with this gem! I hand it out when my family comes over. Even the kids can have a go. In a digital age, something this cheap is punching WELL above its weight. Goes everywhere with me.
It’s solid for what it is. It’s nice that you can create and upload your own filters to the device as well. The one thing that hinders its performance is that in order to shoot video you have to constantly hold down the trigger. They should have added a trigger lock of sorts so that you could have more freedom to shoot while, say, having the device attached to a gimbal or tripod other type of camera rig.
