I use this camera only in video mode and primarily at night to record nocturnal wildlife in my back yard. I will start with the negatives:The only things I don't like about this camera are rather small issues that I can put up with. My biggest criticism is that each video starts with a completely black screen with no image or identifiable information (such as date, time, temperature, etc.). Therefore, you have to start watching the video before you know what you will be looking at or know the time, etc. Also, there is a slight delay in the audio after the video starts (maybe 1 second). Finally, if recording at sunrise or sunset when the lighting is just right (or rather wrong), the video will show up very blurry. All that said, here are the positives:The quality of both the video and the audio are outstanding in both daylight and complete darkness. I have owned 9 different cameras and this camera is by far superior in terms of both visual and audio quality. It lights up the wildlife I am filming better than any other camera, but does not reveal any infrared glow, just as advertised. It also captures features clearly at a longer distance than many of my other cameras. I hope it stands the test of time because if it does, I will definitely buy this again in the future.
