What a waste
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the size of the camera. The camera it’s self is okay. Takes decent picture. The thing that irritates me is that it’s suppose to be able to wirelessly up load but Sony no longer updates the app so it’s useless. I use Apple products but I had someone else try with a Microsoft laptop. It also doesn’t want to connect to my laptop via usb. It’s suppose to be able to Bluetooth downloads to your phone and it doesn’t. The only way I can get my videos is through the memory card and that’s also a pain because I use a tripod. So I have to remove the camera and the connector every single time. I wish I was able to still return it. I was using my cousins canon eso rebel sl2 before I bought this camera. I really wish I would have just bought that one.
