Cons: Battery Life

Summary: I cannot say enough about this camera, it definitely exceeded expectations considering all of the videos I saw said it was only consumer-level quality, but it has definitely shot just as well as some of my higher quality cameras that cost nearly 2500$. I use it for skate videos, since its easy to hold in your hand and produces amazing video. I also love that it has a manual focus option, for amazing looking close-up shots and the ability to change your subject simply. The touchscreen was hard to get used to, but in the end is very easy to use, and I don't have to use the little tip they send you with as my fingers work fine. The battery life is only about 2 hours, which is enough to record 75%-ish of video at the highest quality, but it has a deep battery cavity and the small battery is easily upgradeable to one that will last you several hours. While I love the viewfinder, I was a little upset that you couldn't adjust it, however it works fine for me, and the touch screen is glare resistant. I am constantly astounded by the video that this tiny camera uses, and will be sure to love this camera for years to come. Go buy it!
