Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Camcorders
I bought this to capture the 2017 solar eclipse over North America, being it was one of the few able to fill the frame without use of a telescope. Its iZoom feature gave a 90x magnification to do so, yet does so by an optical-digital hybridization that astoundingly looks pure optical. As for its terrestrial use, it is a lightweight, very compact camcorder, easily coat pocketable and easy to hold. It's a touchscreen type, but requires a solid pressing to register. Having used it a couple of years now, I can report an occasional problem of at times when trying to switch from record to play mode, the screen will go dark and the unit becomes unresponsive, until you pull and remount the battery. Another problem is some times a zooming in or out in a selfie has it lose focus throughout, except for one point of focus. It also has two camera lens - the primary front one and a second tiny one mounted to the display door so it can at times be turned on to include a small, pix-in-pix twosome shot in the finished video, usually of yourself as the scene narrator. One omission that Iv'e never before seen in a recording device is the total lack of pause record mode - you must always shoot the clip nonstop, in one uneditable take - VERY limiting! It's an HD recorder, BTW. I have since moved on to the flagship model, but still use the W580 for basic capture to save wear and tear on the 4K unit. I most like it for its iZoom feature, giving excellent optical-like performance on long zooms. It does the job for basic video shooting, but unless you really need a high optical-equivalent zoom, you could doe better with something else, I have to admit.Read full review

If at least the camcorder had lighting to film in total darkness. If at least the camcorder had lace to adapt strap. But however I like.
