    This camera does it all. Crisp 4K quality videos and good photos as well all in a compact frame that fits in your pocket. As you've probably already read, the main downsides are that the lens isn't as wide as other cameras and the battery life isn't ideal. I think these are easy trade offs for everything else you're getting at a great price point.

    Not bad beginner cam if videos aren’t long

    Great quality, not bad starter. Can only record in 4K 60fps for an hour before it turns itself off to protect the camera so you have to work within that time limit. And yes I changed the settings to try to maximize how long it stays on it still has a not too long time window to record. Picks up audio pretty well but a separate mic is still way better.

    This is a phenomenal little camera! I bought it for my fiancé because the a6000 series with interchangeable lenses were too much of a hassle for her. constantly switching lenses, but this has worked wonders for her. Point and shoot, internal stabilization, as well as internal nd filter. This is an awesome camera.

    I was looking for a camera for photographing inventory for our store. I was hesitant about purchasing this camera without a flash, but the salesman convinced me that it would take great pictures even in low light situations. I'm very happy with my purchase. Needed a lightweight camera because DSLR camera was too heavy for taking thousands of pictures per day!

    My wife wanted a point and shoot to bring with us on vacations, and this is perfect. Sony cams are the best in low light no doubt. It’s super lightweight, easy to use, and produces a shockingly clean image!

    I have not owned cameras before but it’s perfect for me. I’ve learned to use manual settings and adjustments for when I upgrade to full frame cameras. Camera is targeted for vloggers and it works well. However it crops in too much when using ibis. That can be solved using a gimbal. Battery life is too short though. Invest in buying 2 or 3 more batteries

    I use this camera as a main camera and for vlogging. I really like that it has a red light on the front so I know that it’s recording. I just wish the battery lasted longer than an hour. I recommend purchasing backup batteries (at least 3) as well as a battery adapter you can plug into the wall.

    Has bright aperture and decent portrait zoom range of 24-70mm. Great for travel use overall. Wish it had a small flash to make it slightly more versatile for night photography. menus slightly confusing for those new to the Sony ecosystem.
