We are using this camera in church to give a wide view of the stage and lectern area 15m away. It is quite difficult to get the focusing accurate as very small movements of the ring result in a big change to the distance in focus. As others have said the depth of field is quite limited even when stopped down a bit. I also have not seen any evidence that the low light capability is any better than the other similar 5Mp camera we have also used in this position and only took down because it did not always give an output when it was turned on. That one worked well with our candle lit carol service before Christmas and I can't imagine this one would be any better. Does seem to be more reliable so far though.

We use this for live streaming through OBS with an audio feed from the PA. Very professional results and a great price

As with all removable lens cameras they can get dust on the sensor. But I didn't expect it to have spots all over the place on first try. Just a pain in the neck.It's not the best of sensors. Despite the lens being fully manual, the sensor seems to have some auto-gain reactions that make it super noisy and not easy to control. Often quite a bit of banding shows in the image because of this auto-gain. Perhaps I will find a way to set this manutally.

Colours were quite washed out and depth of field is very poor even on smaller apertures.

Disappointed that the camera itself had foreign bodies within the lens housing. Might explain why it was reduced. The pixels are FHD not 4K as the processor chip not 4K. Non the less, once cleaned with an air blower, the quality was improved and definitely 100% on current inbuilt laptop webcams.

Great camera, just what I needed to stream my bird feeder.But, the manual focus is ultra-sensitive, and I spent ages going up and down wih the focus ring. got there eventully, but very fiddlely.

Well, what can I say, tat. dirty optics, dirty sensor. its getting returned NOW. it utter C**P

I needed a fixed camera to livestream a church, that could be set up once and left, and which needed to be quite narrow angle. There aren't a lot of affordable alternative products around and this camera serves that purpose really quite well. It seems to be well made, it worked out of the box, and I haven't suffered from internal dust particles as some other reviews have reported. The resolution is limited depending on what version you buy, but the resolution is clearly stated so you know what you're getting, and for my purposes, the available bandwidth probably precludes much higher resolution anyway. But, I wouldn't use it for more general webcam purposes. The need to refocus manually every time you change zoom would be a real pain, and it is narrow angle so wouldn't be the right product for desktop use.
