kimire Camcorder Video Camera HD 1080P 16X Powerful Digital Zoom Camera with Microphone and Wide Angle Lens 3.0 Inch Screen 24 MP Remote Control Infrared Night Vision Recorder

I should mention at the start here, I am a bit spoiled and comparing this camera to one that cost more than five times the amount. Keeping in mind this camera is listed as a not for professional use Camera, what is included in the package is a really good deal and very impressive. I own a few different cameras and I can confirm this camera is definitely not for professional use. That said it could definitely still be used for a blog type of recording or if your price range is limited. What you get for the price is fairly decent. Personally, though this would not be my first choice of camera today compared to DSLR cameras that I own. That said, I would have loved to have a camera like this growing up.The audio on the included microphone is not perfect however it is functional. I also noticed the audio on the camera as well as the audio from the microphone both record audio to provide input which is pretty cool and also helpful. So if the battery on the microphone dies from using it a lot you still get audio from the camera itself. Instead of no audio at all which tends to happen with other cameras, sadly. But luckily that’s not a problem here. The audio from the included microphone is best when the sound is directly up to the microphone, however, it is still functional and will pick up audio for you. I also tested this camera out with my RODE mic and the audio sounded a little better compared to the microphone included with this camera by default. So a benefit is you can use any microphone with this camera as it has an input for a microphone on board. This gives you some wiggle room to upgrade certain aspects of the camera if you chose to do so down the line, in the future.What I absolutely loved about this item is the fact that it included a microphone, two batteries for the microphone which are button cell, also the camera itself included two batteries in the box as well. You’re more than ready to go out of the box except for the for the SD card which you cannot forget to purchase separately. Do yourself a favor and make sure you buy one if you don’t have one already so you ready to go out of the box.You also get a case for the camera and a separate case for the microphone – both are soft cases which is something and better than nothing. I was truly impressed with everything that came with this camera. Including a remote to control it from a distance. Keep in mind this camera does not offer an optical zoom, so anything that you zoom in on will be done digitally, this means distortion can occur partially from the digital zooming in of the image, however it is still functional and serves its purpose. This camera also does not have an auto focus that means you must hold the camera at the proper distance, otherwise whatever you were shooting will be out of focus.One thing I absolutely loved was the fact that this camera includes a second lens which comes apart into two other lenses. So you essentially have three lenses included with this purchase. These lenses include the onboard lens of the camera, a wide angle lens which works amazingly well and which is what I prefer when using this camera, and you also have a macro lens for shooting things up close. Again I’m very surprised by everything included with this the camera. The only thing that left me disappointed was the quality. The quality of this camera is decent however shooting at full HD 1080P seemed a bit dull considering the 24 megapixels this Camera has. I honestly felt as though my iPhone shoots better quality video in comparison, not having nearly the same amount of megapixels. Also I would definitely recommend using this camera mainly for daytime use in full light or in a well lit area. You will have the best results and notice the best quality from this camera as compared to low light use. Low light use is still acceptable however the image is a bit noisy. That said you also have infrared lights on the camera along with a nighttime mode which is great. You can also adjust the camera brightness or decrease brightness to customize your preferred video or photo look. So if I’m being honest everything that comes with this camera is actually pretty good. Oh I forgot to mention, the view finder flips so you can see yourself if you’re recording yourself talking to camera, the screen is also touch screen, which was a surprise.You have a video mode, photo mode and a review mode to see what you’ve captured. Also a cold shoe for an accessory, either a light or the included microphone. You also get a charger brick, a charger cord to charge the batteries, a hdmi our cord to watch your videos on a TV and a soft microfiber cleaning cloth. This camera is also pretty light weight, which is a huge plus.I’m reminded of my first camera that I ever purchased which did include an optical zoom, but also had a price double to this camera. I plan to gift this camera to my younger nieces for use with their creativity and seeing what they come up with. I absolutely loved cameras going up and was never able to have one of my own, so this will be something overkill for what they need. However it is a great package and if this is the only thing you can afford you can’t go wrong with everything this camera provides. It’s a great value.

I needed a video camcorder for work to record some long interviews with research participants. I was skeptical to buy a brand that I have never heard of, but I was attracted to this camcorder's functionality and price ratio. Well, let me tell you, it totally exceeded all my expectations the moment I received this product! It's really light but solidly built. It comes with a zoom lens and wide angle lens (they can be separated for different functions) that I totally didn't expect (I thought it only had a wide-angle lens). The external mic is also of very good quality and the connection is seamless. I attached everything and turned the camcorder on, and to my surprise, the screen is a touch-sensitive screen! The functions are very easy to understand and the whole assembly also extremely easy. Quality of the video is fantastic. What I was also pleased about was that the product comes with a very well written instruction with professional language. There are so many products made in China- even with big brand home appliances - that come with extremely poorly written English instructions, if any. The fact that the manufacturer pays attention to the instruction manual definitely scored a point for me. The camera is compact but comes with all the parts and features that you'll need. It's a good buy and I highly recommend it.

This product is great, but keep in mind when you order, the rechargable batteries are include not the battery charger. So you will have to purchase a charger for the camera batteries.

When using this camera, it is blurry. I did not pay a lot for it, just I got want a paid for. Also, one of the batteries did not charge. A flashing red light was all ways lite. In researching this, it stated that 1- the battery was put in wrong. There is only one way it can go in. 2-the original wrapping was still attached. When it is taken out of the original packaging, a white covering is still surrounding the battery. I was unsure if this is what the instructions were stating. I Googled it to where it showed the white around the battery was needed. 3-The power maybe too low. I kept it charging for a full 8 hours. Still the flashing red light was emitting. I then placed the second battery that came with the unit in. No light came on. About two hours later, the blue light came on. I then unplugged the camera and the camera came on automatically. The menu screen is difficult to maneuver through. Takes some time. The camera battery only lasts about three minutes from a full charge. When I went to view my recordings, I noted that the camera was off meaning that what I pointed it to shoot, the recording was off centered.

I don't know if it was any good or not. It arrived with no way to charge the battery. Returned it for a credit rather than a replacement. This was supposed to be a gift so I was really disappointed.

Everything I needed was in the box, all I needed to add was a memory card and charge one of the 2 included batteries and I was ready to go. The camera was easy to understand and easy to put together, in the pictures you can see it put together with everything but the arm that comes up from the back so you can hold it at a lower angle with ease.The camera is the size and feel of small camcorders of years past, but this camera holds a lot more features and quality. With the add-on (included) bigger lens it gives a very good picture and I noticed a clean and clear picture even when zoomed in or out all the way.Some of the cool features are the remote the external microphone, the night vision, the anti-shake, and the Wifi capabilities. The Wifi capabilities are really quite cool since you can view and control the camera without holding the camera.While this is not really in the DSLR category, it does advertise 4K resolutions and is a much smaller, more portable, and affordable camera than the DSLR family. This is not a replacement for a DSLR, if you need that quality and functionality, you need to buy that class of camera.
