Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I returned a Samsung Q10 to the store I bought it because I wasn't satisfied with it's quality. This camera seems to be better in lower light situations and also in it's auto focusing ability.
The pistol grip makes it easier to hold. Only a 5X zoom but in my everyday life I don't use much more than that anyway. With digital high def it seems like you almost have to have cameras on a tripod if you want to zoom more than that otherwise the picture is all jerky. Before the Samsung that I had briefly all I had was the old VHS camera's that weren't so sensitive to movement.
You can take pictures at the same time you are making a video by pressing the joystick. You can also take non-stop pictures. Like 10 right after another without stopping to wait for the next. The menu items are pretty basic and easy to learn. The resulting videos are .mov format
Battery life: I've only had this camera for about a month but the other day I was using it and made a hour video and a couple other smaller one's that added up to about 15 or 20 minutes and the battery still said about 1/2 full.
The size of the 1 hour video was 3.3 gig. I had it set on 720p 60FPS. It also does 1080p but only at 30FPS, 720p at 30FPS, and a couple of other lower settings.
For the price/quality ratio I'm very satisfied with this camera, I'm sure you could probably get a camera with even better low light picture quality and zooming ability but you're probably talking 3 times the money.
The only suggestion I would have for the manufacturer is to put the zoom button in front of the pistol grip by your index finger, maybe make it toggle between your index and middle finger, instead of in the back on the top where your thumb is not in it's nature position.
