    My wife and I love this camera! I wish you could switch out the lens but it truly is the best camera for vlogging/videos especially if you have DSLR cameras like we do, especially considering the price. We would recommend for anyone that wants to record HQ videos. Also, the stand that is advertised for it also comes in handy!

    The video it shoots is great, and after you learn the interface, taking photos is pretty decent. Could use a software uodate to make it more intuitive and include the use if the touch screen more.

    This camera is all the rage right and with good reason... I think if your using it for photography and video's (not vlogging) is far superior for the price... The color science is amazing... You have to get to know you camera and definitely play with the setting. Customizing is recommend but out of the box is great too. I would consider myself an intermediate photographer....

    This is a great camera and it is worth it over your phone. I also use it for streaming and recording videos with obs. It has a feature to use as a webcam with just usb at 540p but I use it with elgato cam link to get up to 4K output. Picture quality is well worth the price.

    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.

    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

    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.
