      Hello MarissaW, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We are glad you are enjoying this cameras for your vlogs. We designed the camera with content creators and vloggers in mind and is thrilled to hear it has exceeded your expectations. We do appreciate your honest feedback on the heat and battery issue.

    Had the Canon G7X Mark 2. This exact Sony wins in every single category hands down. No battery life on any camera is really great so buy extra batteries, but the quality of photos and videos plus ease of use is fabulous!

    Products works extremely well! The only problem is that it has a capped amount of time for recording in 4k. If you want to shoot a video longer than 20 minutes in 4k, you will not be able to do so. Otherwise, this point and shoot camera is amazing!

    One of the best cameras I've ever had and I got it open box so saved some money at the same time. It's small but powerful only wish it had a small built in flash, then again it takes great low light photos
