    Very good vlogging camera

    It's a really good camera for vlogging or making videos for social media. It's very good for taking pictures as well, but of course, a DSLR will provide better pictures.

    Good camera but annoying little glitch.

    Yes like this little gadget for the most part. It takes good videos and does a lot for such a tiny camera. But the only issue I have is that it stops recording and then restarts without letting me know that it did that. So I looked it up on YouTubr and it said that tue camera is most likely overheating. But it was only recording at a lower quality for only 14 minutes or so and then it stops and starts all over again. Very annoying. So I looked at another YouTube review and it gave me guidelines on how to get rid of that problem but it still does it. Quite annoying.

    It’s great and works well in low light situations I like the hot shoe dead cat but don’t lose it... the focus sensors seem to be even better than the canon g7x mark 3 which has been my number 1 camera for sometime now

    I don't know much about cameras but, I do know that I truly enjoy this camera for it's high quality video. However, I am not fond of the quality of photographs. There are plenty of things to love but just as many things to not love especially if you're a beginner using this camera. Or should I say not ever tech friendly with cameras. I am absolutely lost with it comes to anything other than turning it on and taking a video or a picture. I don't think there was a manual that showed me exactly what everything was and how to work it. I'll have to learn on Youtube
