Overheated fast! Defective maybe??
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could just be the model I had but even after adjusting the settings it would still overheat and shut off after about 20 minutes of recording. Everything else about was great but the overheating makes it not practical at all. Returned as defective.

Shutter issues
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just don’t. Go with Nikon or Canon. I’ve had two within 10 months and luckily the warranty covered it. I will be saving for a different brand. Never again

TERRIBLE Customer Service!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually haven't even gotten a chance to try it out. I was away for work when it was delivered and no one was available to sign for it. Neither Best Buy nor UPS were willing to work with me on a suitable delivery method that fits my work schedule. I even offered to drive in and pick it up from the UPS facility when I was available. NOPE!! Instead it was sent back and Best Buy charged me a whopping 15% restocking fee for something that was NEVER opened!!! Further more, I am unable to get ahold of anyone at Best Buy because their customer service agents work the same time I do. I am furious!!

Just wait...eye af issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this camera if you want it for the eye auto focusing they claim is so great. It is terrible. The green focusing box is jumpy and vibrates as if it’s trying to focus on the eye but can’t nail it. More than half my shots are focused on the eyelashes, eyebrow, or side of the eye...rarely on the iris itself. Best Buy won’t let me return without charging a 15% restocking fee, which is ridiculous considering it’s a defective camera. Sony is looking into the issue because this is a common problem that many other people are having. If you’re considering purchasing this camera...wait until Sony has corrected this issue. And whatever you do, purchase from another retailer who won’t charge you to return a defective camera.

And I love the ease of use and user-friendly menu made it extremely easy to set up.

Certainly as Curly would say!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buying from Best Buy…,. Is buying with confidence knowing that they will be there, when others won’t. Times we live in don’t risk your hard earned money on a maybe. They will match a trusted seller. (Remember Trusted seller!) Beware of third party pirates.
