I've got one of the camo models. I like it, takes quality videos as far as I'm concerned. Not like a professional HD video camera but good enough video and sound that you don't look like an amateur.

Works great outside and in the woods but don't know about low light situations. I tried using it inside to get video of my grandsons 2nd birthday, even with all the lights in room on video was mostly dark, couldn't see anything. But I've never had trouble with it outside.

Best way I've found to use it is mounted to a stabilizer thread on a recurve. Have wrist mounted with my longbow but that's a little tricky. Don't like to mount it on a tree cause I never know for sure where it will need to be pointing. Which makes a good case for bow, arm or hat mounting.

it does pretty good in good light, especially for its size.  I bought mine to strap it to something while rabbit hunting to get those cool action shots, turns out I didn't do that much rabbit hunting this season, so I have to wait again to give a real test run. I think if you get it, for the price they want . . . you wont be disappointed!
