No 3.5mm microphone

Looks promising, but without a microphone input I'll pass.

Great little camera

I really like this little camera. It’s small, lightweight and takes great pictures and video. I’ve taken some amazing photos of the moon using a tripod. The optical zoom is 90x not 50x and the digital can go to 500x. The image stabilization is really good at the lower magnification not so much at the higher magnifications but my hands are not very steady. Extras are great and icing on the cake. Adorama processed the order promptly and the packaging was well padded and professional. I am a novice.

nice little camcorder

If you looking for inexpensive, look no further. This little power pack give it all to you in a lite and compact way. Draw back, you need to buy all the essentials, such as, charging station for the battery, a couple of back up batteries, and DC charger.

Very Compact, Good Quality Video

The LCD is a bit cheap and grainy, but the camera itself works great. I wish you could charge the battery without a proprietary charger.

Too Small

I ordered this to use for recording grand children and for hunting purposes. It seemed to work fine and the zoom was good but in my opinion it is too small. It was hard to hold a steady picture even with the feature to aid in this. I returned it for that reason.

Great place to order from.

Ordered a panasonic hc-v180k camcorder from adroma camera and I'm very pleased with this purchase. Crisp and clear videos and very powerful, I can see the impact craters on the moon. I believe the gentleman who took my order was Mr. Faber. I ordered over the phone. I was done in less than 5 minutes. The salesman went over the order a couple times to make sure the address was right and product I wanted was right,and I received my brand new camcorder in the time I was supposed too, 4 days. I am going to order from this place again and I would definitely recommend others to do the same. Prices are great, products are great, adroma camera is great.
