    It has great point and shoot ability but does have some features that a novice might find intimidating. Just watch some videos and play around with it. You'll be fine.

    This was a ease to learn and so lightweight without losing the top end picture clarity which was huge

    So far I love it. Definitely the color too. It makes it pop out more than a regular camera. Works beautifully.

    For what it is, best mirrorless you can get for the money. Only issue is the camera doesn’t have a physical viewfinder, but for casual use this hasn’t been a problem.

    This is a great camera for vlogging, although it does not have 4k it is still one of the best mirror less cameras in the market for its very affordable prices

    So far we are just getting used to the idea of a camera. It's been too easy to use our phones. We know there are more features we are in the learning stage.

    I bought this camera a year ago and used it a few times. In all honesty with the year I had it, it's not worth it. I'm currently trying to get rid of it for the canon g7 mark ii. If you're a travel vlogger, you would have to purchase a gimble to reduce shakiness since there's no image stabilization. The quality of the photos and video were not up to par even though it's a 23 mp camera. It's really bulky and it's just better to have it as a stationary camera for vlogging inside your room.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
