    There are so many features to like about this camera. The 180 degree flip screen is a great feature for selfies and recording. It is not a touch screen but it is a great beginner and intermediate level camera.

    Definitely great in low light. Sharp lens also. I was on the fence between this and Samsung model that is similar in style. But after a week I find Sony is much more solid body and all around higher end camera.

    I've been in Italy for two weeks with it so far. I have another 9 days left of my trip. I bought it right before I left. I will learn more about it when I get back. But for now it's taking great photos.

    The camera is great! Only problem was the visit to the store, the employee that sold it to me didnt recommend anything for me to buy with the camera, i felt like he didnt care, i spend over $400 and didnt even get a thank you or have a good night, when i got home and look at the camera box i saw the made cases, battery charger and spare battery and even carrying bags so i went on ebay and bought everything because the camera was for my wife and it was a valentine present so i wanted her to have everything to go with the camera. So again the camera was 10/10 but customer service was 1/10, i give a 1 because he rang up my sale.

    SLR camera in a small package

    I have had several SLR cameras in the past. Some were film type and some had a small viewer. This camera far surpasses all of them with it's latest technology, 20 mp resolution and small size, all at an affordable price. Other Sony cameras in this family offer a few more features at a much higher price. The truth of the matter is that I will never use all the features this camera has let alone the additional features of the higher priced cameras.

    It has most of the capabilities of a larger, more expensive camera. I like the setting options and it provides a short info line about each setting. The camera is a nice size, not for the pocket however.

    Camera performed great. Takes absolutely stunning photos. Great mirrorless camera at a good price! Looks like a point and shoot almost but functions well as a mirrorless.

    Excellent quality in a small size compared to other DSLR's Very fast shutter speed took clearer pictures faster than my old camera with double the image quality. Also the HD videos are great quality.

    Has a slight learning curve but takes great shots for product photography out of the box. Decent all around but you may want to invest in more lenses for outdoor adventures.

    Comfortable to hold, and takes great pictures. I bought it for my 9-year-old nephew for Christmas and he is having a lot of fun with it. He loves photography and is thrilled with his "own" camera.

    I'm sure there are fancier cameras out there, but for the price we are very happy with it. It takes way better pictures than our point and shoot. Definitely worth the buy.

    Great little camera for making YouTube videos, only wish it had an external mic option. Easy to navigate menu and not so bulky like a slr.
