    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.

    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.

    Enjoyable, fun camera - though you can only take pictures during a live recording, the camera is great for beginners (myself included). The lens quality could be better. Nonetheless, it is a great, entertaining camera!

    Amazing camera for vloggers!!! Sony definitely niched down and focused completely on making a camera that isn’t heavy and can be used for hours on end without being “heavy”. The deal breaker is that you will definitely need a couple spare batteries if you plan on shooting all day. Other than that, amazing camera!

    I bought this camera for my daughters so they could use it for what it's made for. They love it and are having a blast. The flip out screen is fantastic and I wish my a6500 had it... Maybe someday Sony. Video quality is awesome too. Lightweight and small and a breeze to use. Lens does not zoom out far enough for vlogging in my opinion but it works.

    Great video camera. The quick focusing works amazingly. Wish it had a longer lasting battery life and a AC adapter that could be plugged into to do longer recording. I solved these two problems by purchasing additional batteries and a dummy battery charger that plugs into my computer. I would definitely recommend this camera.

    It is a great camera. A little pricy but it is not as bad as it could be. It works as intended and it does it well. My only complaint is the mount placement to the battery. BUT that was fixed on the new ZV-1.
