    Excellent VLOG Camera!

    The side flipping screen is a total game changer for a VLOG camera. Previous Sony cameras had a screen that flipped up which can be a problem if you have an external flash or microphone mounted there. This is my new camera that does it all.

    Great quality and super versatile camera. can be used on the go, and even be used as a webcam when paired with an Elgato Camlink. I am a professional photographer and use this for webcam, behind the scenes video footage etc.

    Very good camera for youtube and vlogging. Very easy to use. But Best buy online custemer service is a joke. They lied to me and said they sent me a replacement twice and they never did. I had to call and talk to them ten times.

    This is perfect for vlogging and everyday use. The little wind blocker works as described. We also bought the kit and together it is really awesome. Quality is great. Auto focus is on point. All around great camera.

    The best for videos, but marginal for still photography. The lack of flash is something that I really hate. You can use an external one, but loses all the compact sense. If you want a compact camera for video, this is the best.

    Amazing camera with great tracking, but one flaw.

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

    As the title states, this camera is secondary to done at this price point. The videos and pictures produced from this camera are amazing. The only major flaw is battery life. When filming for more than an hour, the battery drops to about half, which is just not great.

    Im really impressed by this camera! It takes great video and yet is small enough to fit in a small bag. I got this camera for vlogging and so far its been the best choice. Great job on this model Sony!

    Great little camera with a ton of features. There is a small learning curve to make full use of all the features available. Best to go on YouTube to learn how to use it. Will also need a smartphone to post pics and video online/ social media.

    I just wanted a point and shoot camera and this had more than I needed but does all I need it to. I’m still working through the bells and whistles but it’s a good little camera for the money.

    Had the Canon G7X Mark 2. This exact Sony wins in every single category hands down. No battery life on any camera is really great so buy extra batteries, but the quality of photos and videos plus ease of use is fabulous!
