Does this have a convenient recording feature? If so, does it have good quality? I'm interested in using it to record myself drawing during Hangouts.

I don't think it has a recording feature. I've read you can buy software to help it record but I haven't used it that way personally

If you are using Linux, you can use Kazam to capture anything that you can see in your monitor, and it is free. Capture is not really a camera feature, unless you use a video camcorder with usb interface.

I have been using it for my home recording projects,( I sing on karaoke tracks for a hobby). it serves my purpose very well and I like the quality of recording I get from it. It is really good for the price. I would recommend it. If you are looking for more advanced/professional use you may want to explore more options.

yes, and quite good one. It is especially good for interviews, recording concerts, musical bands, etc. I recommend to check on youtube.

You can put an SD card in it so the bigger the card, the more you can record. You can also have it record straight to a dropbox account. You have the option of doing continuous or motion activated. Love it!

Hi,Its indeed useful and the features aare pretty handy. With minumal use of keys, you can navigate to the required menu.Quality of recording is good for band concerts and home recording.

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy.Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

I use my mic for my iPad specifically. I haven't plugged it into my computer yet. The mic turns on whenever you open a recording app. Like when I have it plugged in, I can open the video camera, voice memos, or even snapchat. It works with anything that uses the mic if that makes sense. The only complaint that I have for the mic is that you have to be very close in order to hear the sound when you're done recording, but overall an awesome mic! (:

I enjoy mine, but I just use it for sketching. For on the go to be honest it's pretty comparable to my Surface Pro 3 (but the buttons on the Cintiq make it a bit nicer for more than sketching). I would definitely go to the store and play with them. MacMall has them for demo.

Yeah, for what it is, the microphone works great. I was actually really surprised at how well the mic captured everything while recording. You should easily be able to record interviews with it.

Hi Paula, this is exactly what I'm looking for as well. I'm also a freelance writer looking for a recorder that I can refer back to so as to transcribe my notes. I've been trying to do it by hand and I just can't keep up with it. I also have a Macbook Pro if that's a help. Did you end up buying this or do you have another you could recommend. Thank you so much.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

There are numerous apps you can download for free that do voice recording. The sound quality will be about a 5 out of 10.

thanks! this camera with macam is bit quirky but all in all works nicely (on the left usb port). works great with skype, and recording through macam itself (though there's no mic in the camera itself, so macam doesn't record any sound).

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

Yes! I haven't used it to record - only for watching live TV. I had to reset the channels a couple times to get rid of all the foreign channels I didn't want. It's reset the 1080i setting overnight a couple times and the transparency setting. So a couple glitches. The remote is large and easy to navigate and the HD picture quality is crisp, clean and clear. I paid $38 with shipping and am satisfied.

I use it to record home demos on my iPad using an inexpensive docking station. I also use it to practice melody line. I have never used it live. It is just a way for me to know I am off vocally and re-record.
