A7 mini camera

Bought this camera OVER FIVE YEARS AGO, Passed Test of Time with OVER 100 STARS ! ! ! was here on amazon looking to buy many more, but is not available ? ? ? , , , cannot imagine why a Really Good Quality Camera Like This is not available, , , guessing Company is doing some upgrades, or maybe they made a Similar Replacement,

I used this cam about two times to capture work meetings. The camera is small but the video quality is not as great as I expected. I do not know if it was because of the lighting at work (fluorescent lights) or just the camera but the color was off and it would correct itself when it was stationary. When I moved, that is when the coloring would be off. Also, the video quality is not as clear and sharp as other hidden cams I have owned. I will be returning the item.

Horrible! Very very difficult to use or even understand how to use it!!Not as expected ! Wanted to send back but due to pandemic couldn’t return it be fore time ran out.... DO NOT WASTE your money !!

Fast delivery. Ease of use. Such a small device with good quality of recording video. I bought it primarily for my bike, but handle to use as a motion camera at home, or clip it to my clothing for a body camera.

The tiny camera has met most of my expectations. The instructions are not written in proper English and are confusing. There is one tiny light that is either red, blue, or purple, and flashes various status code sequences; this is inadequate and confusing. The fixed focus is not good for copying text or other close up work. In normal daylight I took some good photos. Often I found the device in video rather that photo mode, which gave me a lot of unwanted video clips. There are two important setup requirements: the micro SD card must inserted, and there is a setup file called time.txt that should be edited. I have not experimented much with the night vision but under casual observation it seems promising. Overall, it is a good value.

Using this as a body-cam is a challenge. Field of view is too narrow and low frame rate makes for shaky video even at 720p. It's passable as body-worn but if you're walking video is a mess. Audio is pretty weak, as you might expect. I may try the slightly longer versions of this camera that have a metal case for comparison.

After looking at several cameras, I'm glad I decided on this one. It's a good size, can hold a charge for a decent amount of time, and has a clip to attach to things with a movable camera. The video/picture quality is also a plus and I was shocked at the audio quality!

Instructions are very clear so no issue to set up and use. You can start or pause recording by just pressing one top button which is good so you can start or stop recording very quick. this has a good weight. It has a built in rechargeable battery.I like it well enough that I'm considering getting a second one.

- I like the 2-in-1 feature of video and voice recorder. This way, you can use the unit based on your needs. Sometimes you may need video. Sometimes you may need only audio. So, it is nice to have this two choices. I like that feature. There is a toggle button that lets you choose if you want to record video or only audio. - I love the rotatable lens. The rotating lens means you can place the recorder on the table facing the room or if you want to carry it in your pocket, rotate it 90 degrees to film whatever is in front of you. This is a cool feature. I like it. - It's always nice to see relevant accessories being included with your electronic gadgets. So, it was nice to see the camera comes with a 32GB microSD card and a microSD to USB car reader. That is very handy if you don't already have those with you. Very thoughtful of the seller to include those in the package. - For nighttime recording, there is a toggle switch that allows you to turn on the infrared light so that the camera can take better videos. Again, it is nice to see this feature included. Sometimes you may not necessarily need night vision and may actually be trying to actually capture the dark. In that situation, keep the infrared off. If you want better clearer video, turn it on. Simple. It is nice to see the night vision is not automatic and that the user actually has a choice. That's great. - Finally, I don't know if the videos are actually 108p HD, but I am happy with the daytime videos. The night videos have a lower image quality obviously but they are good and usable. All in all, the extra features and the accessories make this a good deal overall (I paid $50). Bought this as a gift for a journalist friend and he'll like this camera I think.

Junk

did not work

It's only black and white :-( sorry its colour with infrared off. Doesnt say that in the instructions.

Neat little "spy" camera here. Night vision works well out to 10ft or so, enough to get a decent picture in the dark. Daytime quality is good considering the size of the camera and lens, it's not a GoPro but it is enough to identify people which is what I needed. These days it pays to be careful and get everything documented, and at this price it just makes sense.
