The cheapest camcorder here at 66 €, whose own second bullet writes that its 18× zoom is not optical — and which, like all six on this shelf, never states how long it will record.
The bottom line Honest where it counts — the maker writes that its own zoom is not optical — and silent on the one figure this shelf is told to check first. At 66 € with a card, a battery and recording while charging, it is a working event camera provided nothing needs to be zoomed.
On the listing
2.7K video described as Full HD with 48 megapixel stills and a recording pause function; 18× digital zoom, with the maker adding that there is no optical zoom, beside a 3 inch display turning through 270 degrees for selfies; a 32 GB SD card and a battery in the box, with recording supported while charging, and use as a webcam; camcorder image stabilisation for judder-free video, with face and smile detection, burst and a self-timer; and creative filters offered as a complete set for gift-giving.
The parenthesis that does the work
No optical zoom. The maker writes it inside the bullet advertising 18×, and that single admission puts this camera in its right place: the zoom is a crop, and the 18 is a magnification of what was already captured.
Two camcorders on this shelf publish a real optical range with focal lengths attached. This is not one of them, and it says so.
The figure the whole shelf is missing
The hub above gives one instruction: for an hour-long event, read the recording limit first. This page has no recording limit, and neither do the other five.
What it does have is better than nothing: recording while charging, stated in the third bullet. That removes the battery as a reason to stop, which is half of what a limit would tell you.
A card, a battery, and a screen that turns
Thirty-two gigabytes and a cell in the box at the bottom of the shelf. The 270 degree screen is the other practical line — a camcorder that cannot show you yourself is hard to use alone.
Forty-eight megapixels from an unnamed sensor
Five bullets, and not one names or sizes the sensor producing that figure. Stabilisation is named without a type in the same way. Neither claim can be set against another camera from this page.
Availability
Between 61 € and 90 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.
Listed in the American and British Amazon catalogues with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.

What it does well, and what it gives up
Strengths
States in its own words that the 18× zoom is not optical, which two of the six camcorders here never clarify
Records while charging, so an event longer than a battery is not a problem
A 32 GB card and a battery are in the box at the lowest price on this shelf
Compromises
No recording limit, on a shelf whose buying tip says to read that figure first
No sensor size behind a 48 MP claim, and no audio input of any kind
Stabilisation is named without a type, so what it corrects cannot be read
Specifications
Sensor size
Not published on the listing — five bullets cover the resolution, the zoom and screen, the webcam mode and light, the stabilisation and detection features, and gift-giving, without naming a sensor or giving a size. The 48 MP figure has nothing published behind it
Optical zoom range
None published — the second bullet gives 18× digital zoom and adds, in the maker’s own words, that there is no optical zoom. A digital factor crops into the frame rather than moving glass, so no focal range exists to state
Recording formats
2.7K described as Full HD in the first bullet, with 48 MP stills. No container or codec is named
Stated recording limits
Not published on the listing — and the hub above makes this the first thing to check for an hour-long event. The first bullet names a recording pause function and never a clip length or a file size ceiling. None of the six camcorders on this shelf publishes one
Audio inputs
Not published on the listing — a webcam mode over USB is described in the third bullet, and no microphone socket or external audio input is named
Stabilisation
Named in the fourth bullet as camcorder image stabilisation for judder-free video, with no type, no axis count and no stop figure. Whether it moves glass or crops in software is not stated
Screen articulation
A 3 inch display turning through 270 degrees, stated in the second bullet and named for selfies
Power options
A battery and a 32 GB SD card are supplied, stated in the third bullet, which adds that recording while charging is supported — so the camera can run from a power source indefinitely. No battery capacity or runtime is given

What people ask before they commit
Why does a recording limit matter more than resolution?
Because it decides whether a ceremony arrives as one file or as a gap. Cameras stop for several reasons — a clip-length cap, a file-size ceiling on the card format, heat — and a camcorder is bought precisely for the jobs where stopping is not acceptable. The hub above puts it first for that reason, and no camcorder on this shelf publishes it, this one included. What this page does offer is recording while charging, which solves the battery half of the problem.
Is 18× digital zoom worth anything?
It enlarges the centre of the frame the sensor already captured and throws the rest away, so detail comes from interpolation. The maker says so itself in the second bullet, which is more than several listings on this shelf manage. Against the Panasonic further up, which publishes a genuine 24× optical range from 25 to 600 mm, this is not a comparable figure.
No sensor size published · no optical zoom: 18× digital · 4K at 30 fps · 80 MP stills · infrared night vision · no recording limit published · 3 inch IPS screen turning 270 degrees · remote supplied · two 1500 mAh batteries · webcam mode
A 4K camcorder with infrared night vision and two batteries at 89 €, whose 80 megapixel figure has no sensor published behind it and whose recording limit, like the whole shelf, never appears.
Best for: Filming indoors and after dark on a tripod, where the infrared mode and the remote do work the cheaper camera cannot.
No sensor size published · no optical zoom: 18× digital · 4K · 80 MP stills · infrared night vision · external microphone supported · no recording limit published · 32 GB card supplied, expandable to 128 GB · two 1500 mAh cells · German store only
The only camcorder under 140 € here that supports an external microphone — the audio input this whole shelf is compared on — and the only one no store outside Germany was offering.
Best for: Interviews and talking heads on a budget, where a real microphone socket matters more than a screen that turns.
4K sensor stated, size not published · 20× OPTICAL zoom · DIGIC DV6 processor · eight-blade iris · five-axis stabilisation · 4K UHD at 150 Mbit/s and 25p · 0.5× Full HD slow motion · time lapse to 1200× · MP4 · lens hood with integrated cap supplied · no recording limit published
The dearest camcorder here at 992 €, and the only one to publish a bit rate — 150 Mbit/s at 4K — an eight-blade iris and a genuine 20× optical zoom.
Best for: Long-form recording where the bit rate and the iris matter, by someone who will check the audio arrangement in the maker’s own documentation.
