    Great camera for content creators. I'm not a camera guru, so it is tough for me to get a handle on all the settings, but overall its a great camera.

    It’s a great camera but I didn’t pay attention that it does not have flash when i bought it and i thought it was obviou that a camera with this price would have it, so the pictures at night are not the best. Also I hate the app to transfer the picture, it takes literally 10 minutes to send a 15 second video to my smartphone. Would have never guessed that something like this would happen buying a new camera in 2023

    I don't know much about cameras but, I do know that I truly enjoy this camera for it's high quality video. However, I am not fond of the quality of photographs. There are plenty of things to love but just as many things to not love especially if you're a beginner using this camera. Or should I say not ever tech friendly with cameras. I am absolutely lost with it comes to anything other than turning it on and taking a video or a picture. I don't think there was a manual that showed me exactly what everything was and how to work it. I'll have to learn on Youtube

    This is a good camera. Easy to point and shoot. Sound quality is good as well. Auto focus is a bit slower than what was advertised but it's definitely better than the competitions version.

    Very high quality camera, though be aware of lighting. Low lighting may make the lens seem underwhelming, but a well lit area makes this camera shine! Overall I’m glad with my purchase!
