    Enjoying experimenting with this camera to film. However, I have found the camera's body is a bit hard to grip when not on the shooting grip (in the accessory kit), and I wish it had some kind of textured grip.

    So this is great for Vlogging and video.... Except you need to set your zoom. If you zoom in or out while filming, you hear the lens noise zooming in or out.
