### ⭐⭐ LCD panel shocking in daylight waste of money!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This camera is the one you want, not those knock offs
*by M***R on 19 December 2024*



### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente calidad
*by J***O on 27 April 2025*

Una camara con muy buena calidad de image, estabilizacion y duracion de bateria. Esta camara no cuenta con Viewfinder, por lo que en exterior puede ser dificil de ver la pantalla LCD, sin embargo, esto sucede pocas veces dependiendo de la posicion en donde uno se encuentre y la direccion de la luz. La duracion de la bateria puede es mas de 2h30m. La calidad 4k es extraordinaria aun en sitaciones de luz tenue. El zoom optico es una maravilla, alcanza grandes distancias y no disminuye la calidad de imagen.
