    This camera takes great pictures while taking little room in your bag. Lots of pro features for not a lot of money. Comfortable to hold and easy to navigate. One negative is that the LCD is pretty low res. I had an issue with the LCD (random blacking out), that Sony did fix...with a bit of a fight.

    Sony has really stepped up their game with the idea of mirror-less cameras. Makes for a lighter camera and the Sony quality is still there. Features are excellent and easy to manage. Highly recommend for a starter and video blogger.

    I spent a great deal of money on this camera hoping that it would work extremely well and be user friendly. I haven't spent that much time learning how to use all of the features, but that's my biggest problem. Every other camera I've purchased I've been able to figure out in the first hour without even looking at the manual, but not this one! Not only does the Wi-Fi not work, but the rapid photo taking feature doesn't work well with the flash on. I've honestly taken better pictures with my cell phone.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
