I bought this camera to make vlogging easier than carrying a huge DSLR everywhere and omg this is a game changer. It makes life easier. Flip screen to see yourself while filming to make sure you're in frame and focused, quality is great, focus is fast and it does great in low light. Super easy to use for beginners and obviously for pros. I bought the video creator kit which is a really good deal. It came with a good quality mini tripod, a memory card and an extra battery. Highly recommend!

I purchased this item 2 months ago and I’m still very satisfied with my product. I purchased for content creating with my YouTube channel, I would definitely recommend. Very easy to use, easy to hold and I love the tripod it came with. My videos come out excellent quality compared to my iPhone 14 pro max. I was not sure if I wanted the mark ii or mark iii but I’m happy I went with the mark ii. I believe it is still a great camera to have on hand in 2023.

I love this camera! I've used it a bunch since purchasing and really love using it. The quality is great, the audio is pretty good for a digital camera, it does well with not picking up much background noise. Overall, would definitely recommend!

I absolutely love the clarity and ease of use for this camera. My purpose for buying this camera was for my emerging business. I was looking to do more vlogs, videos and capture better quality pictures for my website. this camera gave me all that and so much more. I've had it for a few months but is very pleased with the quality pictures thus far.

I know that this isn't the "digital video" version of this camera but it shoots amazing video. The camera is also a huge upgrade from my 14 max and I was honestly surprised at how easy it is to edit RAW photos.
Definitely recommend getting the silicone cover off Amazon for extra protection!

I received this camera within 24 hours via FedEx and I couldn’t be happier! The camera is absolutely stunning. I am still learning how to use it and transfer photos from camera to phone/laptop. I will be using this camera for YouTube videos and cannot wait! I ordered the bundle which came with 2 batteries, a battery charger, 32gb SIM card, camera, wrist strap, and small tripod. Thank you Best Buy for another great purchase! Only reason I have given 4 stars is because I have not been able to see my photos/videos on a big screen to confirm if resolution is perfect!

Still learning the ends and out of the camera, but overall it is very simple to use. Great video quality. I wanted this camera for so long because I heard it was one of the best for vlogging. (Subscribe to my Youtube channel: Kail Arkail). I haven't played around with the settings or lighting for picture mood to get the best quality pictures, so right now my Iphone 12 Pro max camera is providing better images.

Although I did end up returning this camera it wasn’t because I didn’t like it, it was because I loved it so much that I ended up investing the extra cash for the mark iii. The camera requires little to no effort to use and offers beautiful photos. I do recommend using the flash in any case to give it a fun and clean feel but the camera is so versatile that how you use it is up to you. It has automatic modes for those just getting into point and shoot cameras for photos as well as enough options for those who are a bit more advanced and want to tweak individual settings for their own stylized aesthetic.

Some people may like the effect of extreme blur around the edges, shallow depth of field, and difficulty focusing on super close ups. I did not. I'm able to get within a couple inch of the lens on all my other point and shoots and have the whole frame be perfectly clear, while this is less than 1/4 of the frame in the center MIGHT obtain focus. It is easier on manual and definitely not on auto focus for video. Unfortunately I just found this to be too restrictive for my needs. The image quality was pretty nice if your photo subject is at least a couple feet away. The colors were pretty good for florals. And one really spectacular thing about this camera is it's low light abiltiies. I was able to take clear shots in the car at night of all the interior ac/heat lights, christmas lights on the house etc. Not many other cameras of this type are that good for that. So, if people and night scenes are your thing, this is for you!

Before purchasing this camera I did a lot of research on it just to make sure it would be a great fit& it turns out to be amazing, great quality and very compact to have on the go, it’s definitely more of a vlogging camera than a point and shoot but it does well for both! and the bundle for the price was for sure worth it.

Great camera for photos and videos! My main goal buying this camera was to make videos and its image stabilization is just perfect! It's really really worth the price! One of the best stabilizations I've ever seen in a 'point and shoot' camera! Not forgeting the great quality photos too!
Basically it has many features we can find in DSLR's but in a small camera with high quality results!
One negative about it is the difficulty to download images and videos directly to PC. We need to install a several programs to finally be able to connect the camera to PC.
I've bought my G7X 3 months ago. I'm still learning how to use all its features but I already love it!

I bought this bundle because I wanted an extra battery which is $50 alone. Buying the bundle covers for the battery and even comes with other accessories as well. The camera itself is great and such high quality. It's very easy to bring around and work with. If you do not know much about cameras, it'll take a while to learn how to work everything. However, all of the shots you'll be taking with this camera will be great. There are a lot of settings as well that allow you to get different shots.
