    At first, I didn’t know how to use the camera and everything seemed off. However after understanding the settings, which are pretty easy to wrap your head around, I’ve been taking some great videos for editing and vlogging the camera is awesome.

    I have little doubt that this machine will meet most people’s needs. I bought it to start video blogging and it’s got a great feel, decent heft and is a credit to Sony designers and engineers. It’s f-ing gorgeous, pardon my French. But I don’t think I’ll use 97% of its features, and a smarter person would’ve bought a cheaper camera then upgrade if needed, or just bought this used. It’s a commitment and if you just wanna digital camera, there’s tons of cheaper options. I don’t regret the purchase but I need to give it more love and attention. Maybe a vacation from work and some intimate time with the camera will provide even greater enthusiasm. TLDR; a fine option for many, a little too much for most, perhaps too little for few, but a testament to Sony and their ethos Also, plenty of YouTube videos to get you learned enough to justify a purchase. Get it!

    Awesome for 4K vlogs with the flip up screen and shooting 4K video. Super fast auto focus as well. It’s a great beginners camera with big features with the ability to switch lenses and add accessories onto the hot shoe (mic, flash, etc)
