    Hot pile of garbage!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this to compliment my A7iii. HUGE mistake. First of all, the menu system is a disaster and doesn't match up to online manuals. I can't find the option for picture profiles anywhere, which is why I bought it. Can't figure out how to set video to 4K. It cycles between photo, 30FPS HD and 60FPS HD. And I've had a LOT of cameras, but I've never had one with such a faulty SD card slot that my card broke trying to insert it. The camera will NOT accept an SD card. This is going back tomorrow, and I expect BestBuy to replace my card as well.

    Buyer’s remorse

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Buyer’s remorse!!! My problem has nothing to do with the camera but with Best Buy and the sale of the camera. Best Buy should be more competitive. For the price you pay for this camera alone from Best Buy you can get this exact same camera for the same price BUT WITH ALL THE ACCESSORIES INCLUDED with several other stores. If you want this camera do yourself a favor and purchase from somewhere else so you won’t end up having to buy accessories you’ll eventually need separately.

    Constantly overheats

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Got this camera for video podcasting and it co scantly shuts off 10-20 minutes (in our well air conditioned studio!) due to “overheating”. It’s *extremely* frustrating for a camera this expensive. Returning and do NOT recommend.

    Horrible camera. Extremely overpriced for what you're getting. Super misleading name too. "Content creator" camera. No. Returned after day and bought a used A series instead.

    Poor and unacceptable quality. No more Japanese junk to my shopping list. Too expensive to compare any other smartphone.
