    Camera is good for vlogging but not taking pictures. I bought this since the canon g7x has been sold out for so long and tested it out for about a week and did not like it at all. Battery also dies so fast and when taking pictures it gives samsung quality.

    Love it! Has great video/picture quality and is super light weight so it’s perfect for traveling and vlogging. Only downside is the battery life runs out pretty quickly while filming.

    I have some really great cameras but this one has quickly become my favorite. I use it for my YouTube videos and for my Zoom calls. The nice Bokeh you get from pushing one button is so easy and looks so good.

    I am using this for vlogging and it is amazing! My only complaint is that you can’t attach lenses which is fine for vlogging but as a camera camera could be better. Takes really clear footage and photos though
