      Just like with any compact digital camera, there will be certain limitations to the recording feature. If you feel that the recording limit isn't normal, please don't hesitate to contact us through the link below so we may troubleshoot the issue. Thank you for the review!

    Loveeee this camera. Perfect point and shoot vlogging camera with the right accessories it’s a beast. Out of box the on-board mic is good but I suggest an external mic.

    This is a good camera if you want a camera that you do not need to change lenses. I am using it for recording and it works well enough for me. I did not want to have to buy a camera and then spend extra money on different lenses.

    OVERHEATED!

    Just received this camera today and it overheated on me twice. I wasn't even recording or taking photos. I was in settings changing things up for about 10 minutes and a message popped up that internal heat was high and it turned off. Took out the battery and it was hot. Turned it back on for about two minutes and received the same message and turned off again. Now I have to wait for a replacement. Keeping it 1 star until I receive replacement and it does not overheat on me the first 10 minutes. Hopefully it's just a faulty camera.

      Hello, switching the Auto Temp OFF from Standard to High will raise the shutdown threshold and allow for longer recording. Please give us a call at 1-239-245-6360 or email us at advancedcustomersolutions@am.sony.com so that we can further help or troubleshoot - Andy Sony_US

    The side flipping screen is a total game changer for a VLOG camera. Previous Sony cameras had a screen that flipped up which can be a problem if you have an external flash or microphone mounted there. This is my new camera that does it all.

    Great little camera with a ton of features. There is a small learning curve to make full use of all the features available. Best to go on YouTube to learn how to use it. Will also need a smartphone to post pics and video online/ social media.
