In good lighting conditions there at the picture quality really from my side nothing wrong, in bad light is the whole halt grain, for which reason you should also turn the LowLux setting there! However, since I have no comparison to other full-HD camcorders, the opinions are likely to differ because ... I find the picture in any case very sharp and good. (Especially the progressive recording with 50 frames is somewhat fine). Although the device looks at first glance (and even compared to our heavy, old DV camera) more like a plastic toy, the recording quality is of course much better and for our purpose (family videos) more than adequate.
However, controlling the camera via a cell phone with Android app and the built-in WiFi Access Point function is rather for naught, because you can not only play and record, what makes the 'RC radiosets function' rather pointless. Photos makes a normal camera better and videos in 'poor' quality you need really not transmitted on mobile phone ... adapter connected using the supplied HDMI cable / TV can view the play all shots in Originalquälität.
Off there no. Simply open and close. The operation is very simple. A 'seeker' as in the old not there, of course, for the price and, for the small display, however, is also sufficient.
On the whole we are very satisfied with the device - a remote control would still have been quite nice, and a bit cheaper if she had left can still be ... but for amateur filmmakers, the only home videos to make a clear recommendation from me (especially for AVCHD 2.0 Progressive)
