    Got this camera to start my podcast. So far everything about the camera is so cool. I can pretty much get clear content from it and the battery life is pretty good. It’s a great camera for moving on the go as well, overall 10/10!

    Great camera for beginners, its automatic setting gives beginners a safe dive into understanding camera settings. Vlog quality IS AMAZING, its not big whixh means you can carry it anywhere but make sure you take care of it because it might fall
