      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Try setting the Auto Power Off Temp setting in the menu to High. Please note high-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback. Sony_US

    Skip This and Buy Newer Mark II Version

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's a decent camera, probably 4 stars, but at this price there's no reason to get this over the new Mark II version which has +Better Menu +USB-C +touch screen controls +Wider lens 18mm vs 24mm which makes a big difference +Tripod socket hole is moved so it's not in the way of the battery door. With the Mark I you get.... -70mm zoom vs 50mm on Mark II which isn't really that big of a difference. Since it's 20MP you can always punch in. It's much less of a difference than 18 vs 24mm. -slightly better video stabilization. -tripod hole too close to battery door. The upgrades on the Mark II may sound like small updates, but it will make your life so much easier. I took the Mark 1 on a vacation and a newer Sony camera with all of these upgrades, and the Mark 1 was annoying to use. If you pick up any of these, I would consider getting a handle grip. The ergonomics of either the Mark I or Mark II aren't good since the camera is tiny. You won't be able to pocket it anymore but feels better.
