Minolta64MP Autofocus Video Camera with Microphone & Video Light, 4" Touchscreen, 4K Ultra HD Video, 18x Digital Zoom, WiFi, Stabilizer, 32GB Card, 3100mAh Battery, Carrying Bag (Black)

I wrote my original review right after I got the camcorder with the caveat that I didn't have much experience with it. Now that I've used it a few times, I am updating my review.DO NOT waste your money on this camcorder. There is nothing good I can say about it. You would think Minolta could do better than this.The manual focus is no better than the auto focus. It simply does not focus correctly. And if you use telephoto forget it. The resolution is horrible. And the audio is also horrible, even with the boom mic. The audio is very "tinny" sounding, like you're inside a steel drum.My Pixel 7 phone can take much better video than this camera - even when 20x zoom. So I'm going to get a simple external mic for it with a wind screen and I will have a much better solution.I saw another review that referred to it as a toy for kids. I think that is being kind...I'm either going to give this camera away for free or dump it in the recycle. The only thing I will salvage is the 256GB SD card that I bought extra for it. I won't consider selling the camcorder because I couldn't take somebody's money and have a clear conscience...--------------------------------Disclaimer - this review is written after limited use of the camcorder. So far I like pretty much everything about the camcorder except the auto-focus. Maybe I'm not doing something right, or maybe I'm not holding my mouth right (as the old saying goes). But the auto-focus is horrible. It will go out of focus and STAY out of focus. I intend to primarily use this camcorder on a tripod to record presentations at a museum. I was shocked at the initial tests. I set it up on a tripod and tapped the "camera" button to bring it into focus on a podium about 15 feet away. Then starting recording and stood at the podium, setting up my laptop, etc. You know, normal stuff you would do. When I looked at the recording I was shocked. If I moved backwards or forwards just a little it would go out of focus, and often stay out of focus for quite a while. Then by some miracle it would go back into focus again.I'm going to give it a few more tries and see if I can find a solution. For now my plan is to put it in manual focus mode and hope that it will produce usable results. If not, I'll probably be sending it back.

Great camera for the money. Haven't used the flash or mic yet, but hopefully with this, the quality and ease of use will pay for itself soon.

This product does not meet the advertised performance listed on the Amazon website. I called to return it and received an return order and got it ready to drop off at Whole Foods. then I received a retraction saying they would not take it back. This Video Camera is junk. Ron Bell

Todo salió exelente, gracias por sus servicios

I bought this for use at night, but the images and video even with the light are fuzzy and poor. Faces, features, backgrounds as far as trees just turn a muddy brown fuzz. It fails to focus on any objects and the view is about 2 feet. Even close ups are blurry and out of focus. No different during the day. Videos just do not focus, are blurred and jumpy, and the camera is bulky and difficult to keep still. Even when set upon a desk, the videos are grainy. Not happy with this purchase. I had such high hopes for this one! So disappointed instead.

Next step up was over $100, then above $2k. Works ok. Auto-focus is difficult at times.

La compré con mucho tiempo de anticipación para un evento familiar. No enfoca, no se entiende el habla de la gente, se mete todo el ruido, horrible la imagen.

The media could not be loaded. Unfortunately this Minolta camcorder lacks quality in every aspect. This camcorder is made for children under 10, my 11 year old even disapproves with the quality. This was a waste of time.
