The photo quality of this camera leaves a bit to be desired, however the video is amazing. For the price - it can't be beat. Yes a $400+ camera is going to be better... but for what I plan on doing with my camera, this is perfect. Low light situations certainly suffer with this camera, I'm going to be buying a light to use next time I plan on using it underwater to see if that's any better. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, and would recommend this camera to people for personal use on their vacations, snorkeling, skiing etc.

This 5K camera is for documenting my travels. It's lightweight and perfect for traveling. The video and photo quality are amazing, don't hesitate! This camera is the ultimate gift for those who love capturing memories in amazing detail.

I've been using this camera for a few months now, and it has surpassed my expectations. The video and photo quality is superb, and the autofocus is incredibly fast. I love the customizable settings, which allow me to tweak the camera to my specific needs.

I got this digital camera mostly as a gift for my daughter who loves doing photography. One of the first things you should do is format the memory card. I would also recommend changing the mega pixel settings to the highest in both picture mode and video. When I used the camera, I was really impressed with the picture quality. I love how it has different modes for shooting and capturing video. It has a USB-C port which is a big plus. You can also use it as a webcam. I love how it comes with 2 batteries and a memory card among other things. The built in flash does an amazing job lighting up the scene. You can also attached an external flash on top of the camera. You do need to press the button slightly for it to focus before taking a picture and that can sometimes cause a person to miss a scene that goes away quickly. The camera feels good in my hands, unlike other digital camera that feel flimsy. I can see many uses for this camera, specially if you want to make Youtube videos.

This camera checked all the boxes for what we were looking for. Touchscreen, WiFi, photo and video, etc. It was very helpful in learning the functionality of a camera, especially for beginners. I have attached a photo that shows the detail the camera executes.

An excellent choice for photo and video

You can't have your video's or snapshots download directly to your photo gallery on your smart device like some other security cameras. It makes you go through Google photos first then you can download to your pc or smart devise. I have a different camera also and you can set it up to automatically download any images/videos to it's own folder in your photo gallery. I have emailed them and asked them why it won't let you and no reply from them. Besides that it is an amazing camera great quality and the zoom is perfect. I wish it had an IR feature, that would definitely top it off in my opinion.

This is the fifth trail camera I have owned, so I have some experience with some different versions. This one probably has the best instruction manual I have seen - not only is it a good size and the print large enough to read without a magnifying glass, it is well written. But even then, the manual is hardly needed - I set up most of the settings on the camera after installing the battery and memory card without even having to reference the manual except for a couple of settings (to be sure I knew what they meant).

It takes very good photos and video - I have posted examples of both. It has yet to trip the detector at night. But even on the medium sensitivity setting during the day, it did capture a cat walking past about 20 to 25 feet away from the camera. I have some other cameras that sometimes don't trip that reliably when a human walks by. So high marks on sensitivity and clarity of photos and video - at least in the light. The microphone is perhaps not as sensitive on this camera as some others, but then it also does not seem to pick up significant wind noise either - which I would say is a good thing. Just note you may have to increase volume when listening for things that are not all that close to the camera.

Much like other cameras of this type, I have it set to take 3 photos then video. And in that type of setting, it captures the photos first, THEN starts recording. So if you want to capture more on video and earlier, do one photo and then video or just set it for video. I added a photo and video showing when the photo first captures and you can see how the video started later (granted there were two photos in between there). But tripping the detector seems to happen pretty early and does well.

On that note, and helpfully, this camera did not trip every time the wind blew the leaves on trees, as occurred with another camera I have. So this one - to date anyway - has only captured people and animals walking though, not any and all motion that happens to occur in the frame, which is nice. Then I do not have to sort through hundreds of "leaves moving on the trees" photos and videos to find the ones that have something important on it.

I do not have any infrared photos or videos yet - I was hoping to catch some coyote/ pheasant / possum / rabbit as we do have those come through our property in other areas. No such luck yet here, but if/when I get some, I will post and update the review to include that experience.

Very good camera so far. Time will tell how it does in more severe weather conditions and in infrared.
