Is this a good camera for vlogging?

No. It is the worse camcorder ever. Picture is extremely poor. A cheap webcam can work better.

NO, stay away from this camera. Always had problems focusing, Now it won't focus at all. Not a good camera, buy something else. I'm sorry I bought this one.

I would not recommend it, I had returned it for a refund. You cannot disable the auto focus and even with ample lighting in a hall on a tripod the camera will not focus at times, will make for a horrible recording. Additionally you cannot charge and record at the same time, you will have to stop the recording to insert a new battery every time. To say the least there is much better for the money , I would stick with Sony- I did moving forward and couldn't be happier.

It is a cheap camera. And is not HD. It records but not clear picture. It depends on what you are looking for.

for video recording, i lasted as much as i needed. Longest i used it for was close to 5 min using a class 10 32gb card. I think it records plenty though so it should be good for +5min vids. I did have my battery drained much faster too so keep that in mind. Other than that, yea it's pretty good cam for the price. I getting me a 2nd one which the first one i just had a little scratch on the lens. Hopefully that was helpful! :D

I use this for lots of my YouTube videos, and I think it's a great camera and a great value. Yes, the screen will turn all the way around, which is a real advantage if you're filming yourself for videos. I have a DSLR also, but the screen doesn't turn on that, so I use the Canon for most of my online videos. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

yes - but you should look into 720P or higher cameras. The quality over 500tvl is amazing.

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.

Yes, and the video quality is excellent. Be aware that camera's microphone is small. It's fine for indoor filming, but you can get wind noise when filming outdoors. That goes for most video camera too. Video uses up your camera's card very fast, so carry a spare! Regards Zeke

yes....it's a great little camera. Takes great pictures as well as video. We have recorded a few videos and used for our powerpoint presentations at our church. Very nice.

The video seems to be just as good as our point and shoot which has full HDmovie as well. Seems like people have left poor reviews because of the microphone being an internal monomic vs capability for an external stereo mic. The sound quality as is seems fine. The video is also fine, one caveat would be that I am not sure if it can autofocus when zooming in during recording. Hope this helps.

Of course it is. Very good choice. It's recommended that you also buy the LCD Bac-Pac or the Wi-Fi Bac-Pac so you can always be monitoring what your capturing. Remember that this is a camera with a Wide-Angle Lens, so you don't have any zoom. Just wide general takes. It's also a daylight camera, since doesn't have any flash light, but has a good light capture.

Im pretty sure you will have no issues filming. Its a great cam for the price with hd quality. I love the fact that the zoom is awesome as well.

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Yes it's pretty good for any type of recording. Once you use it professional. It's a good pretty!!

This camera does do video...pretty well too. But, at VGA resolution it is only good for Youtube, and will not look very good if you try to view it on TV. Step up to the SZ-16 model if you want full HD video, and super zoom at a great price...otherwise recognize this camera for what it is...an awesome pocket camera for everyday or traveling when the cost is not a great tragedy if it is lost or stolen.

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.

Nope. This is a pretty basic camcorder. Does not have that kind of versatility.
