Be aware of some of it's limitations.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good camera, but it does have one shortcoming that I did not see mentioned in any pro review. If you plan to buy this for content creation and you plan to use this to shoot video in 4K resolution, be aware that due to the FAT32 file type used in the camera that video files are limited to 2GB in size. The camera will continue filming, but will do so in another file. If you are filming in 4K you will reach 2GB in roughly 4-5 minutes. Also, this camera will shut itself down due to heat when filming, which I have experienced while filming in 4K resolution. This camera is decent, just not great.

I really liked it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera to vlog, as I have a small youtube channel. I love the face filter it comes with, because it makes my skin look so smooth lol. I love how compact yet so professional quality it is. I have yet to learn more about its features, but so far so good.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a quality camera, but I should’ve dug a bit deeper when looking for a camera to film videos. The battery doesn’t last long and it heats up when recording.

Great little camera with minor issues
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use mainly for travel photography and videography. Captures faces quickly; however, it does focus pulse a lot when trying to film landscapes or open scenes with little movement. Build quality is great. Video quality is also great. Picture are just ok

Best auto focus, good vlogging point and shoot
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Auto focus is unmatched. Image stabilization could be better. Lens is not quite wide enough for vlogging. In camera audio is great. Includes dead cat attachment, also able to plug into external microphone. Good portable size, and flip out screen is a plus.

No Regrets
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best VLOG camera I've owned. I was wondering if I'd made a mistake since I own a high end phone with a great camera. But quality is literally night and day difference. I promise, you won't have any regrets. Love the video and audio quality for a beginner.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a digital camera, hands down way better than a cell phone (compared to iphone 11 regular or Galaxy S10+). As a video recorder, it's really good. Quality is great. it can do 60 frames per second in 1080P, and sound isn't bad, though I did do an external mic.
