A:AnswerThis camera works great, in my opinion it's one of the best ones, the down side could be the microphone.
The other option that you have it's the Sony RX100 V really good to but it's 300 more expensive, and the big difference it's the 4K vs the 1080HD beside that the Canon G7ii it's pretty solid Camera.
A:AnswerYes the zoom is pretty good it's just trying to get it to focus up close is hard if ur going for a macro close up. Over all I love it. And I vlogg with it every day all day.
