Also, is this camcorder a swivel screen?

Will I be able to see myself when recording?

Thanks~

@AmnaReza071611 Hi! :) Yes, you'll be able to flip the LCD screen around so that you see yourself while recording. The screen worked well, but overtime the screen will become loose some. This is because of pulling the screen out and flipping in the direction I want it in. I found that the screen is held with one small screw to the camera, could be why it gets loose later on. I haven't used this camera in a very long time, also I don't film much. Later on, planning for a different camcorder.

Thanks for this. There were lots of shows that said that the quality was crap, but I got one of these for about 80 bucks, and it may not be the best quality, but it's not bad if you use it under decent light and stable conditions. Better to buy a low-end now and wait a few years when the 800 dollar ones are down to 50 bucks.

@rader55555 No problem. Yeah, I want to try to get something different in the future. But this was a good start, until the prices go down. There have been a few camcorders in the past I've set my eyes on. But we'll see in the future! :)

thx for the vid

[RR99i]

@AntiVot You're welcome. I didn't think I would get this many views on this type of video, lol. :)

Is this ideal for making youtube tutorials?

Can you please let me know if it will auto-focus when zoomed in?

Thanks so much -- I purchased this from amazon for $50 due to the fact that I needed one ASAP and only had $50 to spend! Thanks =)

@Krazie316 Yeah, the sound of the recording of the camcorder isn't the best. It's very good for close up sound, but even then I have to boost the volume up when editing the videos sometimes. I'm going to try in the near future hopefully, to get another camcorder. But just not yet. :)

for 50 bucks (on bestbuy's web site) it's not bad at all, I think the only thing I have an issue with is it's sound quality

My wife and I went to Kohl's last night and got three of these for $25 each (Thanks to my wife talking to the manager). They work great and for $25, you can't bet it. they were already marked down from $149 to $44.99 as it was so go to Kohl's and see if you can find one.
