    This camera is great but not for what I need it for. It will not last last 30 min of Continuous filming which is something I need. So I definitely recommend purchasing more batteries from Sony.

    Meh. Good for quick pics and maybe vlogging, but at the same time, the battery doesn’t last more than like an hour and a half, so that kind of would suck for filming.
