Amazing

Bought it for streaming on twitch
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box it was working perfectly fine. Then after about an hour or so it shut off with about 30 percent battery left and wouldn’t turn back on. I took the battery out and waited for a bit then tried turning it back on but nothing worked. The next day it worked but then quickly overheated. Then cut off again. I only streamed for a total of about 30-35 minutes. I wish it didn’t have all these problems because for the price it’s awesome! Maybe mine was defective? Idk

Great First Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera expecting it would take much better photos than my iPhone. It did just that. It's the first camera I've ever purchased just because I've always had the latest iPhone and I was always ok with that. It's a huge step up.
