Well i bought a minolta camcorder 2 years ago its still going strong for under $180. Never had a days problem with it in the heat in las vegas out at the lake or in the snow. Works great every time. Who cares that they dont own it anymore. No one owns anything anymore. Hatteras yachts and Volkswagen and many other companies including Nikon are all owned by Brunswick bowling balls. Means absolutely nothing. Japan is buying up everything. Almost all the major brand bicycle companies including Schwinn are all owned by japan. Rolls Royes automobiles are owned by BMW i hate bmw but i love rolls royce cars. So it doesn't matter that Minolta is not owened by them. Its a Japanese company that owns them and Japan makes some pretty awesome cameras.

My recommendation would be to buy a used Sony or Panasonic camcorder. You can get a lot of camera for your money, if all you want is 1080p. You could probably get a 1080p60 camera with a 60x zoom for close to that budget.

Well, I'm not 100% sure about your statement that the Kimire shoots 1080p in 15fps. I purchased a Kimire digital camcorder (the one you reviewed) in early 2022 from Amazon. At the time I ordered it, it didn't specify 15fps anywhere in the description, now it shows up right on top. Well, I've used it to record presentations for a group I'm involved with, and the video quality was a lot better than what you showed. The metadata of the recordings (in Windows, right-click on the file name and hit Properties, then go to Details) show that it's 30fps. Not being sure exactly what to believe, I decided to do a test today. I set the camcorder up at 1080p and recorded an on-screen stopwatch that I found on the internet. Then I brought the recording into Shotcut video editor, set the timeline to 30fps, and started counting frame by frame. Each frame of the 30 in one second had a different image (the stopwatch counted to 1/1000 of a second), so I'm quite confident that my version of the Kimire shoots at 30fps in 1080. Perhaps there are multiple manufacturers of the camcorder, or maybe they changed things somewhere along the line and now they shoot 15fps, but I don't believe mine works like that. However, I do appreciate you going through and testing these. It makes me hyper-aware whenever ordering a camera.
@techonabudget77457 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. When selecting 1080p, 15fps was the only option available at that resolution with footage that was unusable. Best guess is that a firmware update offered 30fps in later releases.

Hey if you don’t mind me asking what settings do you use for this camera? I’ve been using it recently and notice that it kind of auto switches from a cool look to a warm look while I’m recording and idk how to make it stay one color.
@jimschaffner1Ай бұрын
@@chicagomadebj I haven't taken any video with it for a while, mostly I used it for speaking events for a group I'm involved with. And even then, I also had a couple of cell phones set up to take video from another angle. Pretty much I left ISO and white balance on auto and never really paid much attention to the color when I produced the final products for the group (admittedly, some of the videos weren't the best quality, though the audio was usually good though not from this video camera). One thing I have discovered is that you need good lighting, both with this camera and a cell phone. For my own personal use going forward, I'm shopping for an affordable DSLR (likely going with a used one) and some wide-aperture lenses that I can use in lower light. I also invested in a few small lights picked up on the cheap from Amazon to help light the scene when needed. My version of this camera will work in a pinch, but it's not something I'd go out and buy if someone is shopping for an affordable video camera. I'd go online and look for a used higher quality smartphone that can be had for a decent price and dedicate that to taking video. I did just that when I picked up a used Google Pixel 5 about a year ago. It also serves as a potential backup phone in case my daily driver gets damaged.

This camera doesn't focus. The online manual says to "soft press the 'photo' button to focus" but the image is blurry no matter what I tried to do. It also instructs to hard press 'photo' to take a picture but that doesn't work, either. All images are overexposed even at 0.0. The "4K" recording is set at 24 fps so it's not only blurry, it's JUMPY; to get a "smoother" recording, you have to opt for the "2K" setting as it records at 30 fps. However, again, it's still blurry. I bought it so that I could stop recording on my phone because I run out of space quickly (128gb) and airdropping vids is a lot more cumbersome than popping an SD card into my laptop; it's the perfect size and the remote control is convenient, but sadly, there's no point in a camcorder that can't capture clear images. I'm returning it.

The Polaroid official app has been pulled from all stores but the APK is available online. Linked on top is a Chinese version that works to capture video and photos on newer android OS phones so if you want to use it you can even tho can record better content using your phone camera now. I used other 360 video edits to create VR content and even in edit, you can get rid of block pixels. Android App: chipapk.com/app/3051035/ Sorry no iPhone or mac app for camera control

I am so excited, before I was going to buy a cheap camcorder but after this video i decided I needed to spend the extra money to get what I really wanted. Although the this Sony isn't the best camcorder I its all I need. So exited with what I am going to be able to do with it! Thanks for this awesome video. What we all needed!!!
You just saved me about $100 lol thank you
How do you change fps on kimire?
You have to go under settings and scroll through until you find frame rate. It takes a bit of digging. The user interface is similar on these cameras and not exactly intuitive.
Anyone know if you can record video and view the live feed while it's hooked up to a windows device? Useless for "on the go" / spontaneous event recording, but it might have some use for carefully choreographed event recording with a PC.
I had no luck. Overall, quality is very poor.
You should put a link
Excellent Review thanks for your time
thank you so much . you give me the answear exactly . God bless
Do you have any idea where can I buy batteries for this camera?! Two orders from XTU website had been cancelled, nothing on Amazon or Ali Express!!!
Batteries for the Akaso Brave 7 LE will work on this camera as well.
i have sony axp55 maybe it be worthy 1500$. but i like cheap Chinese camcorder for retro movie LMAO
I purchased the camera since the description said 4K 16MP but it has a 5 pm largest file size Size = 1920 x 1080 Android App: chipapk.com/app/3051035/ Sorry no iPhone or mac app for camera control it doesn't look good in edit or any VR, 360 edit apps still renders blocky I was able to get the camera working on a new android phone and older android tablet I had laying around in a junk drawer. The Polaroid official app has been pulled from all stores but the APK is available online. Linked on top is a Chinese version that works to capture video and photos on newer android OS phones so if you want to use it you can even tho can record better content using your phone camera now. I used other 360 video edits to create VR content and even in edit, you can get rid of block pixels. Android App: chipapk.com/app/3051035/ Sorry no iPhone or mac app for camera control
Thank you for this video! As someone who is looking to buy a video camera as well as being budget minded you gave me the exact information I need in regards to these cheap Amazon cameras. Hard pass. Think I'll go for an older model GoPro even though I don't need the features. I just want a picture that doesn't look like a potato camera and sound that doesn't sound like the inside of a dumpster on a windy day. My older cell phone doesn't cut it unfortunately.
These cameras a PERFECT for Ghost hunting videos or UFOs or Big Foot sightings or literally any other occasion when you really really need the shittiest Video-& audio quality possible. :)
Hey thanks for this😱! My girlfriend lent me her old 10 year old Toshiba Camileo x400, which I use to interview people outdoors and indoors for my KZread channel. It has helped me so much to get started but I'm currently looking to upgrade from it, as I wanted to get better video quality. Which Video Camera / Camcorder with an Audio jack would you recommend that is better for £100 - £150? Thank you 👍🏿
panasonic hdc-sd40 is good value for the money
Great review video! Thanks
Gracias amigo
Got it Working, if you can located the APK file version 1.0.1, i also tried version 1.0.8 which didn't work.
Hey does it record video for you?
Have a link for the APK?
Damnnn😾 Polaroid Be StraightUp Pullin' A TRUMP On Ery•1 Dez Days.. [(Thinking They MustHave Read: "The Art Of The Deal" &Were Likee: "FK YEA!! ..Worked Great For That Cheeto They Let Be President" )] 😹😹😹 Thanks For This Video Bruhhh!!! 😺
Das macht ein Handy genau so gut. Das sind einfache Aufnahmen
The FDR-AX53 is intended for users who need a highly customizable camera with a richer feature set than what is typically available with most cell phones. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, for example, takes amazing video but isn't suited to do the job of a GoPro 11 under certain conditions.
Theres arabian or whatever they are are actually using the SAME CAMERAS but actually switchin up the brand name.........if u noticed all the 4K cameras are idenically the same!! i purched one today cuz it had 5 star reviews. well the reviews were all fake! guys dont buy these cameras at all!
So frustrating... I just want to find a decent 1080 video camera for my kid. If a name brand made a decent VLOG camera for $150, with quality like a GOPRO but large body and not water proof (to save cost), they would make a killing...
@@aromaticpillow Walmart or best buy....Amazon products are starting to be trash an cheap
