Literally won’t work unless it’s charging. TWO days and yet to still charge. Remove it from charging and it won’t turn ON. Still have the receipt not sure if I’m able to get a new one or give up on it.

Believe the reviews
We had immediate problems with the camera. We purchased an SD card compatible with the camera. Later it said it couldn’t read it. The picture wasn’t as clear as I would have liked.

Good for home movies and nothing else
This is probably the worst piece of equipment I have ever bought, even worse than book fair camcorders. The pros: In general it is easy to use and the flipping screen is nice. It is also easy to charge and transfer videos to a computer. It definitely has the quality of an old video camera if you want a vintage effect. The cons: The mounting screw housing is not properly attached to the bottom of the camera. I had to pry the bottom off to free it from my Tripod, so I can't return it now. There are no settings on this camera. The contrast changes constantly while recording, so one moment it can be catching nice colors and the next, washed out. The zoom is choppy (but this is not really a big flaw, it's just worth mentioning) The videos record in AVI format, which means you will run out of space on your SD card extremely fast because AVIs are gigantic. The way those AVI files are encoded by the camera can't be read by most softwares, and most conversion softwares tend to destroy the frame rate of the video, ruining the vintage effect. So good luck putting these on an editing software. A time code is permanently burned into the bottom of the video with no way of removing it and no settings on the camera to turn it off It is way too easy to completely wipe the SD card if you're not careful. If you are only wanting to replicate old home movies and don't intend on using it for anything serious (I wouldn't use it for family outings or anything precious as it is NOT reliable), this is probably a decent option, but for a modern Camcorder for the price you pay, it's not acceptable. Go to your local scholastic showing and get one there instead.

Hi Georgie, thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback on the camcorder. We appreciate you highlighting both the features you enjoyed and the areas that caused frustration during use. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the tripod mount, recording settings, AVI formatting, and reliability concerns. We also wanted to clarify that the product description states “Comes with 512GB of storage with support for SD cards (6 or above),” referring to supported expandable storage rather than built-in internal storage. Your comments are incredibly valuable and will be shared with our product team as we continue working to improve the experience. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

false advertising
FALSE ADVERTISING. Product is extremely misleading in its description. Indicated that there's 512GB built in when there is no built in storage and it required an SD card. I would like a 512GB SD card from the target team.

Hi Abigail, we’re sorry to hear there was confusion regarding the storage description. The product does advertise that it “comes with 512GB of storage with support for SD cards (6 or above).” We understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing this to our attention as we continue working to improve our product information and customer experience. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

Underrated!
I was very skeptical to purchase this because of the bad reviews but since they were mixed, so glad I took a chance! I wanted this specifically for vintage type quality for my wedding coming up and its perfect! I payed attention to the directions and removed the sticker from the battery and it works perfectly.

PLEASE READ IF HAVING BATTERY ISSUES
PLEASE READ!!! the battery is inserted the wrong way. i had to first remove the sticker and then twist the battery around!!! it was inserted with the 3 stripes touching the spring, when really the 3 strips should be touching the two dots (if that makes sense lol)

the picture quality is not that bad at all. but the camcorders microphone is really bad. however because it has good picture quality. you can re-edited in your video editor. and do the voiceovers and b-rolls

Wont work without being plugged in
Absolutely loved it but it does not turn on without it being plugged in. I had it on the charger for like 6 hours and still wouldn’t work. Very bummed about it.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 5 months ago
Hello! Thank you for reviewing our product. It sounds like the plastic covering over the battery leads might be the issue. Please open the battery door, remove the battery, take off the plastic shield covering the leads, and replace the battery. Then, charge it with the cable, and it should work once the battery is charged. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

Happy with purchase
Not sure why people would rate this poorly. You get what you pay for and this is a great item for the price. Doesn’t come with SD card. Not canon quality lol the mic isn’t the best but if it’s the 2000s nostalgia you’re looking then get it
