Lightweight, easy to use, recharges quickly (and can be recharged while it's in use!), excellent video quality and sound quality, great zoom feature, versatile. I just love it, and have used a LOT since I bought it about three months ago. Nothing negative to say about it.
I was extremely uneasy when it arrived - it's lightweight and small and I thought, "What have I done?! This looks like it's made by mattel," but it's sturdy, hasn't let me down, and I plan to do a youtube review of it soon.
It has a mounting hole on the bottom and fits well on tripods. It records whether the side view-finder is open or closed.
It took me several tries to find the right recording format for me. I think that's the only hiccup some people might have. Google the different formats this camera offers then pick the file size and quality you want vs the length of time you want to record.
Also, turn off the "level" setting, or it will stop recording when the camera is tipped (not level). I've even recorded (audio with the lens cover closed) while this camera was stuffed end-on in a side pouch on my backpack.
There are good how-to videos about this camera already on youtube by a variety of creators. Check them out :)
