Just testing out how well the video/ audio quality comes up on YouTube from this cheap camcorder I bought. For an HD camcorder that's $160, it actually does a fairly decent job, considering professional HD camcorders can be over $800+. 

This camcorder does have certain problems, however. The video comes out too grainy in low-light/ dark areas and the quality suffers from it. The camcorder drops framerate significantly when moving too fast, so it's best to stay still when recording (it even comes with a mini-tripod to help with that). The audio is good quality, but you can still hear a low buzz coming from the camcorder's mechanics, especially when zooming in on something. Speaking of zoom, the digital zoom on this camcorder is terrible to the point where it's pretty useless.

Other than that, it's fairly decent to use, especially when you're in well-lit areas. THAT's where the camcorder really shines. And it only uses simple SD cards, so you technically never run out of room. :3
