It takes good quality video but the construction is a bit lacking. If your kids are good at taking care of their things it will work well for you. My son is hard on everything. So far, so good but he is seven. For the money i am completely happy with the video and ease of use with my tv and computer. Good luck!

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

Nex vg10 has a very good recording (I have one of this), but it is obsolete. Now is the VG20. VG10 make a good pictures too, but it is not a photocamera, It depends if you like to take more pictures than video or not. If your target is the video, of course vg10, if your target is pictures, then canon

A parent frantically told me her daughter was giving the promotion speech, and could I please record it and put it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PXPekr5qc Sorry for the wobbles in the beginning, I only had a monopod. I turned the color saturation up 20% using premium pro.I can tell you the camera is great outdoors, but without plenty of sunlight the video gets grainy. It also doesn't have the color richness of a 3 chip camera, such as the fx-1. Something blood-red on the fx-1 is a flat, boring red on the a1-u. You get what you pay for. I'd go for a used FX-1 instead of an A1u, but the latter is much easier to lug around to promotions.

I think the quality of the audio produced by this camera is very good. I, personally, would not buy an external microphone. It's a decision you would have to make after viewing your video and seeing if the sound quality is what you prefer, but for me..it's just fine.

No, but there are plenty of youtube videos that are easy to follow specifically using this camera

I shoot youtube videos, weddings, etc. with this camera love it highly recommend it! Great camera quality is great. Much better than a camcorder in my opinion.

I'm no producer or anything, but this camera does take great video. It's got a decent warmth to the video also. If you're going amateur and would like a decent start up camera, I woul suggest this camera. Just keep in mind that you can use it only with a high powered computer. A regular computer won't be able to handle this thing... I am thinking of selling mine. My old MacBook Pro doesn't handle the files too well...

I can't say I'm an expert on this topic, as I've never really had a need for a video camera and that capability was not why I purchased the camera to begin with. That being said, I have used the video feature a few times and must say that the sound quality is pretty darn good. The image remains pretty good when your hand shakes, though I can't imagine any video camera would not have some shake. You can zoom in/out while using the video. For my needs, it's been good. And others have made positive comments on the video I've taken with it... so I think that's positive, as well! Hope this helps! :)

This is a very limited computer, it has a web cam with less than average quality. Of course you can record videos with it and upload them to youtube, but again they are low quality. More advanced video processing, editing, may be out of the league of this laptop.

Yes, the pictures it takes are great, provided there is enough light. If you purchase I would advise buying an extra higher capacity battery. The battery it comes with won't last longer than 2 hours. Otherwise it is a good, inexpensive video camera. I would recommend it.

Overall this is a very nice little camera. I have posted one video that I made with it, and it was a very decent quality. You will not be disappointed with this camera.

Yes the video quality is good. Got this for my son and his videos using the 1020 fps feature are hilarious so he told me to make sure I mention this feature in my comment. Picture quality is also good and when I used this in our Siem Reap trip recently I was impressed at how well it adjusts to the different types of lighting. Great, easy to carry around, camera!

I need a camera that takes good action pictures indoors. My daughter is a dancer and my point and shoot pics are always disappointingly blurry.

It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.
