Thank you for your review!! I wanted to get a camera to film and take pictures of my new baby and family, so you think that the still pictures that this camcorder takes are any good? I would like a camera and camcorder in one if possible
Hi, Congratulations on your new baby. I think it’s a great camera. After carrying the camcorder for a few months, I realized that I only use it to film wildlife where I need the zoom lens. I don’t need to worry about the camcorder getting hot on long usage and don’t have to mess around with a lot of settings. For casual filming, I just use my phone. Most recent phones come with excellent low light photos|videos and have image stabilization. I think the phone’s latest softwares make up for what they lack in hardware compared to the camcorder.
Very interesting I would love to see a comparison with this and the Panasonic HC-VX1 - the VKX is a bit newer has a slightly smaller sensor but slightly bigger photosites so should in theory be better in low light
It's nice to see someone using a camcorder properly and not just demonstrating how fast he can zoom in and out. Also good to hear natural sounds instead of awful background music. I hope you enjoy your camcorder.
1. I haven’t really tested the battery limit, but I have filmed for >1 hour 4K video. You can also plugin power bank while filming 2. No 3. Yes if the selfie stick supports camera mount
Great presentation! I watched it with interest. Thank you!
Thank you 😊.

Thank you. MarcusPix has a great review on both vs other cameras: ruclips.net/video/_F-TOQy2NdY/видео.html

There is no different between the vx980 and the vx981?
They're same camcorder with minor regional variations. Which model is available depends on your region.
Can i ask? 1. hoe long does battery last? 2. Is the camera water resistant/ splashproof? 3. Can you screw in a selfie stick underneath?

2. No
3. Yes if the selfie stick supports camera mount
@TodaysTechReviews thank you
Can the camera record with the screen shut?
Yes it can. When you close the screen after hitting record, it will keep recording.
@ thank you for your quick response! I’ve searched the internet all day looking for that answer!
