Cheap Camcorder from Amazon, Review and Test

I decided to find out if one of the dozens of cheap camcorders listed on Amazon is any good. This is my review of the camera, which is a non-branded HD camcorder that advertised 1080p, 30FPS video recording. Let's see how it performs.
As requested by several viewers, I have set up a Patreon account. Any support is appreciated, but absolutely not required.

  • Very informative review. Your review answered just about every question I would ask about these cheap cams except for how the socalled nightvision that meany of them advertise having. Then again, given the footage of the regular video you demonstrated, my guess is that the IR night mode probabley stinks anyway. After watching this, I just went with a used Sony I got off ebay for the same price. The only disadvantage was that I had to buy an adapter to put a micro SD to fit into it like a Sony DUO slot. The added bonus was that great Sony Night Vison they don't make anymore. Once again, awesomely informative review!!!👍

She's an old cam but the IR night vision is pretty awesome and is the one thing no phone cam has, making it still worth buying dispite how outdated it is. The built in microphone is pretty nice also. There are definitely better Sony models to choose from but this one suits me fine for recording things in the dark that go bump in the night.

    • @@LilPaconot When the camera comes the instruction manual doesn't really have many details. The camera setup may be confusing but you have to kinda get used to using the setting area inside of the camera opening. When you open the camera click menu and then you'll see a whole bunch of settings. Some of the settings are unnecessary unless you need them. The camera is actually not bad the picture is good but sometimes the video quality can be sucky sometimes. Also, the camera may change color because of the natural lighting. Make sure you stay in a well-light area (very bright). Hope this helps! I tried my best to explain lol. :)

  • I just bought this "HDV-201LM" used, off ebay, for $20, came with the microphone and two batteries, of which I had to bend out the contacts on the camera to keep connection to batteries. Its definitely having more issues with video quality than my other cheap camcorders, and its the only one I have with the external battery. This one doesn't have any threads around the lense for attaching a wide angle x39 lense like alot of the other low end camcorders have. I bought it to basically learn about it, ....since I have others, and mine doesn't have a brand name, so I suppose it came directly from china.

You pay for the name. I got the 4K HD from Amazon. $129.00. It’s great! Clarity fantastic! I wouldn’t go any less though. It was a real hassle to figure out the right buttons to push. NOT initially user friendly at all! I had to read the instructions. 👍👍👍

  • And, camcorders/video cameras generally are capable of recording video for longer than a maximum of 20-29 minute stints (depending on the brand and age of the camera). My old Kodak (C195... I think) can only record for up to 20 minutes or so before it automatically stops recording, and my much newer Nikon B500 camera can't record video for more than 29 minute stints (regardless of format and any other settings). That gets frustrating sometimes. However, yes, those two cameras are primarily designed to take pictures, not video. *By the way, thank you for the great video!*

  • I don’t know if you’ll see this 4 years later, but I really believe it can be very close or as good as higher-up cameras as long as you have quality/audio editing knowledge, preferably in editing softwares; for me, I edit on mobile, and I was able to edit the brightness to make my shots at least 50% more bearable on the eyes, I never uploaded the footage. Sure, it may not exceed our expectations immediately, but as people exclaimed, you get what you pay for, so make the most of it. I haven’t used mine in years and now I’m just starting up again for my KZhead channel. I consider it a “benefit” and a “disadvantage” compared to my usual device (just my iPad). “Some things are best tolerated than avoided.”

We are spoiled for choice. 15 years ago an $80 camera capable of what this one can do would have been impressive. But these days we have so many great options that I simply don't feel like this camera is a great value. But it is a much better value than the $250-$450 Ordro cameras I've tested, so that's good.

    • I started with PowerDirector. I thought it was pretty easy to use. I'm sure there are others out there, but that's the one I started with. I've tested out several generic cameras like this and some of them have problems with the memory card being read properly in the computer and I've even had some that create odd file formats that won't read properly in some programs. So it's possible you are running into an issue like that, but PowerDirector was pretty good about recognizing just about any file type.

    @BedsitBob@BedsitBob3 жыл бұрын
    • I probably should have showed other white balance settings, but I left it in auto for the video. I did try other settings. Strangely, the "daylight" settings gave much warmer color in my booth, with the "cloudy" setting probably being the most accurate. Both gave warmer colors than what I showed, but the daylight setting in particular was way too warm making my skin a bright, reddish orange. The cloudy setting was probably the most accurate, but my hands still looked like I had an overdone spray tan, lol. Overall, none of the settings give particularly accurate color in my sound booth.

I agree that the camera works, I just think that the quality is poor, the advertising around it is often misleading, and the value isn't very good. I also wouldn't recommend spending more to upgrade the microphone, as the camera itself hampers the audio quality to the point that an upgraded mic won't help very much.

    • If you can't find anything else and end up deciding to go with one of these Chinese cameras, I recommend you pay less and skip most of the extra accessories. The only accessories that I find worthwhile are the external charger and extra battery. The rest is virtually worthless. Skip the external mic as it doesn't really help the audio quality. The wide angle lens is poor quality and not worth much either.

    • I did test a version that had night vision. I found the "night vision" isn't really night vision. It does let in infrared light so you can use an IR flashlight and see with that, but without an IR flashlight I can see far better with the naked eye, and other cameras I have without night vision can pick up far more in low light than this camera can with night vision. So if you want the ability to see infrared light and use an IR flashlight, the IR night vision mode may be what you want. But if you are simply hoping to see better in the dark, the night vision on these cameras is not helpful.

There should be a knurled ring on the microphone mount that will unscrew to allow the mount on the microphone to slide into the shoe mount. Once in place, the ring can be screwed back down to tighten against the shoe mount to hold the mic in place. If you are having trouble in another way let me know and I'll try to help.

    • It depends on what type of videos you will be making. If you want to record things closer than 3 feet or so from the camera, nothing will be in focus due to the fixed focus with a minimum distance of 3 feet or so. It also has no image stabilization and the digital zoom is pretty terrible. Also, depending on which exact model you got, some of them 15fps, not 30, which can give a bit of a stop-motion look to the footage. Many of these types of cameras also have major audio limitations of one kind or another. But those limitations aside, it will technically record video, so if that's what you have, give it a shot and see what you can get done with it. If it doesn't work for you, try to get a refund and save up for something a little better. Good luck with whatever you end up with.
