    I use this camera for streaming and taking pics of the family, I have use for my son grad pics and it came out great. I do wish the battery life was a little longer but it works for what I need it for

    I was looking for a camera for photographing inventory for our store. I was hesitant about purchasing this camera without a flash, but the salesman convinced me that it would take great pictures even in low light situations. I'm very happy with my purchase. Needed a lightweight camera because DSLR camera was too heavy for taking thousands of pictures per day!

    I have not owned cameras before but it’s perfect for me. I’ve learned to use manual settings and adjustments for when I upgrade to full frame cameras. Camera is targeted for vloggers and it works well. However it crops in too much when using ibis. That can be solved using a gimbal. Battery life is too short though. Invest in buying 2 or 3 more batteries

    This camera is perfect for any beginner. I started recording videos in no time with this Sony digital camera. Some features I especially like are the wind screen attachment, and the ability to change the screen position. The camera is easy to use on your own, or for recording events.

    Great quality for the price. Used as a b-roll cam for A7III and it stands up very well. Using external power, it can run in 4K for over an hour without overheating indoors.

    Has bright aperture and decent portrait zoom range of 24-70mm. Great for travel use overall. Wish it had a small flash to make it slightly more versatile for night photography. menus slightly confusing for those new to the Sony ecosystem.

    I use this camera as a main camera and for vlogging. I really like that it has a red light on the front so I know that it’s recording. I just wish the battery lasted longer than an hour. I recommend purchasing backup batteries (at least 3) as well as a battery adapter you can plug into the wall.
