Great quality video, sound is decent, camera makes funny "tinkling" sound whether on or off
I'm incredibly impressed with this little camera. I've been using it for a few months, and it works very well.I needed something I wouldn't cry when it inevitably ends up smashed, at the bottom of the lake, or covered in some chemical rendering it useless.The day it arrived I fired it up, shot video on it, the wifi function is awesome, you can do most of the basic functions from your phone, which is super handy when the camera is mounted remotely.It does make this funny "tinkling" sound any time a battery is in it, and the battery goes flat in a few hours whether the camera is on and recording or sitting on my desk pointed at the ground.I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, or a firmware problem, I tried updating and I already had the newest update for the firmware, so if it is a known issue, it isn't fixed.Comparably my main camera, a Canon 70D will last for weeks if it is powered off but the battery is in the camera.Other than the weird sound that comes from the camera and the battery life, it is a solid little camera. I just pop the battery out when I'm not using it and they last great that way.
