Viewing Device Needs Work, and Viewing Device and Camera Don't Work Well Together
Viewing Device Needs Work, and Viewer and Camera Don't Work Well TogetherThe camera, itself, seems to work just fine ---- takes video of reasonable 1080p quality with decent sound. I'm able to remove the SD card, plug it into my "smart" TV and play the video files without a problem.However, I was hoping to use the viewing device to do that. The paperwork that comes with the viewing device describes it as usable to either preview the shot you will get by showing you what the camera sees, or play videos you've already captured through use of the camera. But here's the catch... You can't use the camera to actually record a video with the viewing device still attached to it.So, if you use this combination the way the manufacturer plans, you first attach the viewing device to line up your shot by seeing what the camera sees. Then, you unplug the viewing device, and capture the picture or video using the camera. Then you plug the viewing device back into the camera so that you can see what was captured by reviewing the contents of the SD card in the camera. Huh? Who really wants to operate a camera this way?Adding insult to all of this is that the connection between the camera and viewing device is by a tiny and rather thin cable with what looks like 3/32" diameter 3-conductor jacks on each end. The connection seems highly susceptible to introducing noise that you end up hearing from the speaker in the viewing device and seeing on the display of the viewing device if you move the cable too much (which isn't actually that much, at all) or you turn either of the connectors at either end of the cable in the jack it's plugged into (which could easily happen given if you move the cable much at all, given that the connectors are round). Finally, even if all worked without such problems, the speaker in the viewing device is so anemic that cranking the volume dial all the way up makes the audio only barely audible ---- I had to wait until I played the videos on my "smart" TV to confirm that I had actually caught much of any audio, at all.This is another instance of a camera having not been designed really to support an LCD display from the beginning, and having this feature sort of stuck onto it at the last minute when someone realized that people would like to have it. This just isn't working very well.Don't buy ---- Instead, get a camera that was designed with the LCD built in or that at least isn't being added to the camera as an afterthought.
