    Use it for different camera angles during Video Recording, and Live streaming. As long as the Lighting is good, it does great work! But i seem to every now and again lose a pixel or two during recordings. which requires a camera reset to make them appear again. works great otherwise!

    I was looking for a camera that would be user friendly. Could take pics of fireworks. For the price I felt it should have had a bundle package. I had been looking for similar cameras that had more available. But felt camera wise this was a good choice. An extra lens would be a + and I would have given a 5 in value.

    I was hesitant between spending the extra money for the 6100 vs the 6000 but I’m glad I did. It has quick and effortless guides to different modes. Takes stunning pictures and is easily learned. I’m starting to build a photography portfolio after using a canon and I couldn’t be happier with this product.

    I got this camera for my sons graduation gift and he loves it. This has to be the hands down best camera. It is small and easy to carry around. I love how the pictures are so clear. And if I could give out a million of these cameras I would and I’m sure my son would too.

    GREAT CAMERA if you dont have the money for a sony a7 series camera, its good in low light but its not the best, you get what you pay for. The in camera flash is a good feature and the auto focus is great. Best camera for the price

    This camera works great, it’s of great value at the price point and is very easy to carry around. Most notably it’s also 4K and takes pictures that are much better than even some phones twice the price of this device, which I know used to be the norm but things have changed.
