Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As I've just come back from a trip for a couple weeks and put this camera to the test, it's now time for an honest review. Thinking back on my usage experience and reviewing my footage, here are my conclusions: PROS 1. This little camera is so easy to pack, carry, and use -- one can quickly get some nice wide-angle video and pictures, at those times when you suddenly see something you want to shoot. 2. The wide angle lens makes it easy to point and shoot, as wherever you point you will be covering most of the view -- and some of your shots will be stunning. 3. Being able to take this camera in the ocean/water makes for some great swimming and snorkeling shots. 4. The microphone works quite well also, picking up a fair bit of detail, as long as there is not too much extra noise around you. CONS 1. This camera works very poorly for low light conditions -- my night footage is not useable. 2. This camera works very poorly for hand held moving shots -- I filmed a lot just by holding onto a mounting accessory -- any slight movement made pictures blurry (and useless) and videos hard to watch due to all the shaking. I will use it more in a mounted capacity in the future. 3. No LCD viewer -- of course it would be easier with an LCD screen on the back showing what you are taking, even a very rudimentary one -- but the wide angle lens makes it pretty easy to guess. 4. My new product did arrive with a couple of manufacturing imperfections (see pictures), which you'd never expect for a company of this size. Of course they have no bearing on the camera's functionality (and don't contribute to my rating), but do speak about the company's supply chain and/or QA.
