    I found this baby one of the best purchases I made in a long time. The Price point is great, but the results are much better. For many of you that are starting greating content, but also has an affiction to photography and Hig Quality Video production, this one is an amazing choice, as it gives you the chance not only to have almost professional results, but to study, and understand the behavior of professional video production. The only thing that you'll miss, is the Interchangeable lenses, but, with this product, you can explore tons of professional settings, top video quality, all the manual adjustments, the function of an ND Filter, and much more. Also, you'll obtain a beatiful 4K material to work with in Premiere pro, and test all the professional picture profile, color adjustments. And if you like, you cna use it as it is, an amazing Vlog Camera. And, despite all the negative comments about the lens field of view, there is a lot of twaeks that you can do to expand this possibility, but I have to say, you should have some short arms to feel the image too close to your head, it is NOT as terrible as people are saying in Youtube.

    One of the best 1 inch sensor camera with blazing fast auto focus. Low light performance not as good after all it's a 1 inch sensor and what more we could expect. IQ is superb. Owned rx100v before and the image quality is as good. Miss evf but considering the price it's not a deal breaker

    My husband got this for me as a birthday present. I know that the price is high, but it is very well worth it. It works fast, connects wirelessly to your phone so you can sync your photos, and makes uploading online very easy. Clarity is incredible and the battery lasts me weeks. I use it to upload my cooking. The mic is an added bonus. :)

    A great pocket camera for quick vlogging and as a 3rd camera for studio setup angle shots. 4k 30p looks excellent! Very sharp even at 1080hd. Like everything about this camera. Hope that it is going to last a long time. Paired this with GP-VPT2BT grip. Works perfectly with issues.

    After reviewing several cameras I opted to buy this one for my vlogging project on YouTube. It’s size, weight and design makes the perfect combination for a point and shoot camera. The image quality is amazing and price is fare. Not friendly for photography but capable of. Highly satisfied!

    Best Vlogging Camera Ever

    Love Love Love Love!!! I had got this product to start off my interest in creating a YouTube channel. Upon turning on the camera I was in love due to how well the camera automatically adjusted to my surroundings. I was walking from an indoor environment to an outdoor environment and was expecting the camera to essential "white-out" my background due to exposure. However, the camera adjusted instantly and kept me in focus. Next, I tried filming in the dark was able to see myself and my surroundings without the need of an additional light. It did all of this with its high quality photos too. Lastly, it has an amazing display focus feature so that if I am showcasing a product while recording and hold it in-front of the camera it focuses on the product and back to me as soon as I put it down.

    I honest thought this camera was going to be the perfect camera for me. The issues i have with this camera is the battery life and overheating. The battery doesnt hold a charge, I can’t film a youtube video without me having to charge it in between which takes forever. It also tends to get hot after filming which is concerning.I wanted to like this camera after hearing so many great reviews on it. I thought this camera would replace the quality on my iphone 14 but the iphone camera beats this camera 100% … Also Ive been having issues with audio and grainy quality, so don't fall for the hype.
