"A little dissapointed"
Pros: Small Size Good picture Quality
Cons: Poor Microphone, needs better lens
Summary: Upon return from a 5 week holiday I note the following
1. the microphone is VERY sensitive to wind artefact. A mild breeze causes rough rasping noise which obscures commentary.
2. The microphone is lousy at picking up conversation, especially outdoors.
3. There is no microphone jack... there is a "hotshoe" for an accessory microphone that sits on top of the unit, that is equipped with a wind muffler. Of course, it's an expensive optional extra. Noise artefact really makes the produced videos poor quality.
4. the lens is not wide enough for indoor use with a large crowd for example. Of course, again, one can buy an expensive, fiddly lens attachment to correct this problem.
So, the tradeoff for a small sized unit are the above problems. With the accessories one can , I suspect, fix these issues but then it increases the bulk of the camera thus neutralizing the original selling point of the camera.Updated
