    I loved that the screen on this detaches like a camcorder. And the picture and video quality are great. That's why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. This camera DOES NOT live up to its hype. Unlike other high quality cameras, it boasts that it is essentially for vlogging purposes. My expectations for a vlogging camera would be EXCELLENT battery life. This camera is exactly the OPPOSITE. I did not have the ability to record in succession with this camera. Either it shut down because the battery died, or it shut down because the camera/ battery over heated. And this was not just a one time occurrence, this was EVERY TIME!!! Don't waste your money with this camera. You are better off getting a more traditional camera or camcorder. Sony disappoints with this one. I ended up returning this and replacing it with a more expensive camera. The replacement was open box, and Sony as well.... but is a MUCH better investment!!!

    I'm keeping this for ease of use and video quality, but the audio quality is pretty bad, we have to edit a lot in post, and this camera shuts down after 15 minutes of filming if I'm recording for a while. I had no issues for the first day of filming, then the second day, it shut down every 10 minutes. Took me 40 minutes to film a 20 minute episode. And the battery life isn't great either. Again, Keeping this purely because I don't want to spend more than $600 for high quality YouTube videos.
