Menu function not so user friendly, images are great though!
What a tiny little camera/video camera! I have small hands, and yet it fits in one hand, and I am still able to use it easily with my non-dominant to record and take images. I'm pretty amazed at that, and how easy it is to use. I can take my dog for a walk, holding the leash with my right hand, and take pictures or video with my left. The first time I did it, I could not believe it. I am used to carrying my Fujifilm s8200 around my neck, and let me tell you, that is not easy to use when I have my dog with me! This little camera has allowed me a little more freedom. The way the buttons sit on top of the case is brilliant. They just press down on the buttons inside the camera. It couldn't be easier to take images or record the way they have it set up.The pictures come out clear, and really well, and so does the video. The one image shows the wrong date, obviously, as had just gotten it in the mail, and took it out and about with me without changing any of the settings. The other image is from our car. I did not touch up or crop either image intentionally, so you can know what to expect from this little camera. I honestly, am very impressed with the images it takes. The reason for my 3 stars, is I can't seem to be able to get the camera to record continuously. For whatever reason, it appears to be recording just fine. Record signal is on, counter is going, but when I look back at the video, it is only part of it. A minute, sometimes I am lucky enough to get a few minutes, but unfortunately, what keeps happening is all the good video is just not there. I am sure it has something to do with a function that I need to change on it. I just haven't found it yet.This comes with a waterproof case. I haven't had an opportunity to test that part out yet. So far, with rain it has kept it completely dry. I haven't submersed it in water though to find out if it's truly waterproof. The case has a fisheye kind of lens on it, so you can see more of your surroundings. Some images are more noticeable than others of this effect. I have also taken images without the case, and the images still do have a fisheye kind of appearance. Not as noticeable, but it is still there. I was hoping that would eliminate the fisheye look if I wanted, but it doesn't.The menu screen is not intuitive at all. It's the most frustrating part of the camera. I am glad it does have a lcd screen so you can see what you are shooting. It makes it a little easier. Only thing is, everything needs to be set up the way you want it before you put it in the case. The controls are not accessible outside the case. The only thing you can do is use the video or camera buttons.It does come with some accessories, also of which I have not had a need for as of yet. I've been carrying it around in my pocket with me occasionally, cause I like to take photos. It's a lot easier to grab this one, than my much larger one in a pinch.The sound on it works very well. Voice quality is great, and it does pick up other sounds around you. Wind noise is there, but it's not nearly as drastic as my other cameras. So for sporting activities, it should work very well.I have not been able to get the apparent wifi function of this camera to work either. So, there's that. If you can get this camera under $40 on sale, it's definitely a great one to have around, even if you are like me, and are unable to get it to work exactly like you want. I have purchased 2 of these now because I do like it, and I know once I figure it out, I will be glad I did.**This product was purchased at a discount, not free, for testing and review. I also purchased one at a sale price, which turned out to be half the price my initial promotional discount was! I couldn't pass that opportunity up to have a second one that much cheaper. So, the general public actually paid less than I did for the promo the first time if they caught the sale. So, watch the price on this one, cause it GREATLY varies! If I can ever get this menu figured out, and find out why I am unable to record more than a minute or so of video at a time, I will come back and update my review accordingly, but will leave my original review intact.

GREAT GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS OR ANY OCCASION I LOVE MINE
This is a great camera and has so many wonderful features when I received my package the first thing I did was take everything out and look at it and inside the box was 1 USB Cable, 1 Helmet Mounting Bracket, 1 Vertical Connector, 1 Horizontal Connector, 1 Waterproof housing case, 2 Sliding Base Pieces,1 Bicycle Housing, 2 3M Stickers, Screw Strings, 1 Sliding Fastener Connector. This camera is also Wi-Fi enabled and the distance of effective reception is 20m and the camera is waterproof up to 40m and you can easily put the camera in or take the camera out of the waterproof housing. You will need to buy your SD card for the camera and there are other optional accessories such as the charger and the non slip base or the vehicle suction mount and these and other optional accessories can be purchased separately and the plug in that attaches to the USB cord in order to plug the camera into an outlet and charge it can be purchased separately as well, I just charged it by plugging it in to my USB port on my laptop. You can attach this camera to your bike as well and take some beautiful pictures of biking with ease. This product also features a mini HDMI port the SD card slot supports 32GB max. You can also mount the camera to your helmet as well. For the price this is a great product and when compared to competitor products this one is definitely worth the price and will give you the same results as the more expensive sports cameras on the market. The instruction manual leads you step by step through everything you need to know and getting it ready is super simple and it uses a lithium battery which will last longer than other batteries. This would make a great Christmas gift for the adventurer or even for the active family that enjoys taking videos and pictures. This product is well worth the investment.

Awesome
I go diving in a lot of remote locations and try to film as much as I can. I didn't want to spend $300-400 on a goPRO since I think they pretty much all have the same function which is to film at 1080P quality while being waterproof and durable enough for extended use. I decided to try out this video camera because of the introductory pricing and it did not disappoint. First I had an scuba trip scheduled for the Bahamas and it was one that involved sharks! Literally being in the ocean with 20-25 of them I wanted to make sure I was able to film it all. While the trip did offer a special video package I didn't feel like spending $100 for it.I found the camera quite light weight during filming and easy to hold and press record. The video quality is also great, I very impressed considering I paid less then $130 for it. The colors and clarity was amazing and had no idea why people want to spend more then $200 for these products when they can be had for much less. Hats off to Krazilla for delivering a superior product.
