    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.

    This camera is perfect for any beginner. I started recording videos in no time with this Sony digital camera. Some features I especially like are the wind screen attachment, and the ability to change the screen position. The camera is easy to use on your own, or for recording events.

    Amazing camera for vloggers!!! Sony definitely niched down and focused completely on making a camera that isn’t heavy and can be used for hours on end without being “heavy”. The deal breaker is that you will definitely need a couple spare batteries if you plan on shooting all day. Other than that, amazing camera!

    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.
