Surprised
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must say this thing really surprised me! This was a gift for my daughters 13th birthday. Not wanting to spend a lot on something that may get damaged or lost, I bought this. She was so excited when she opened it. She has used it several times since and it makes amazing video! May need to buy myself one for Christmas!

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this camcorder is just phenomenal. He got it for a Christmas present for my daughter and she really enjoys it. It gets an old vintage green field vibe to the video quality but even though it says it’s in 4K can’t beat it now she’s pretty happy with that is documenting everything since she’s got it, so there’s that in a nutshell.

bad quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It definitely wasnt 4k and had a very weird look to the videos after you recorded them. although the screen is touchscreen and is user friendly, the quality is not good and the lowlight shots are worse. it does have nightvision but still is terrible quality. i returned it asap and got the sont handycam. i don’t recommend this and would say to go a little more expensive with the sony one.

Yikes
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a low price camcorder and the price says it all,,,,get what you pay for. The overall low ratings of this device is warranted, with terrible video quality when zooming. If you just need a basic device for up close video or pictures it is ok, otherwise upgrade. Mine is going back to the store.

Battery Power Issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this camcorder not even three months and it already will no longer hold a charge. I immediately noticed battery issues at the time of purchase, that it was taking an excessive time to charge. Only way i can use is if charge cord is connected at all times. When i was able to use i was pleased with the quality of the video, surprise given how low the price was. I'll need to return or exchange.

what is vivitar doing?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i believe its misleading specs... the video footage was definitely NOT 4k or ultra hd. the price was $129 for 4k UHD footage..? now i know why the price was that low. you get what you pay for, grainy pixelated footage.
