    Great starter camera! If you know how to operate a camera then you can have a fun time with this and make money and get clients. Only reason it is not a 5 is because it is more of an entry-level camera

    Transferring is a nightmare

    I really wanted to like this but getting pics off this camera is almost impossible. The app is horrible, tethering takes you through dozens of folders, bluetooth doesn't function and trying to do so over wifi was hit and miss. The only way to transfer without drama was to take the SD card out antransfer that way each time....and my laptop doesn't have an SD slot. It's ridiculous that in 2024, the technology isn't better. Nikon transfers almost immediately to your phone or connected computer. I only gave the 2nd star because the picture quality is nice. But you could have the same or better with a $100 outdated pawn shop camera. When I was returning this, the rep accidentally bagged this back up and tried to hand it to me. I was like "Nooooo, that is yours to keep, Sir. I don't want it back, even if you're giving it to me!"

    Camera works like a charm, takes excellent video and the files transmit very easily. Still learning how to use but overall i am satisfied. Does get overheated when recording 4k for an hr so a downside.

      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. The Help Guide is available online at the following link.

    Excellent Camera for the money. But for a few more dollars i should of bought the A 6600. Without the right lens shooting video with this camera requires a tripod to avoid blurring and video shake. If u have the money...BUY THE A 6600 !!!
