    Great camera, for taking pictures and making movies. Be aware that the movie format is not .mov so you have to import it to a computer to convert it accordingly.

    Camera is good for vlogging but not taking pictures. I bought this since the canon g7x has been sold out for so long and tested it out for about a week and did not like it at all. Battery also dies so fast and when taking pictures it gives samsung quality.
