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.

Sold as new but used
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the camera but it was already opened and set up when I opened it but was sold as new, it doesn’t seem to have anything wrong with it but it’s annoying spending so much money on something and I don’t know if it’s used or not, maybe someone opened it in the store to see? I don’t know but I’m annoyed and it was the last one at my local store so I can’t return it
