It will probably be my new number 1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great and works well in low light situations I like the hot shoe dead cat but don’t lose it... the focus sensors seem to be even better than the canon g7x mark 3 which has been my number 1 camera for sometime now

This made my Vlogging experience so much easier!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic camera for beginning vloggers. I usually have to take videos in low light, and this allowed me to make better quality videos than I would be able to make just using my phone!

Horrible lighting capture
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this camera after all of the raves!! The picture quality is great. However, the camera lighting is horrible. You will need a ring light for vlogging in doors.

Decent at filming, hard to grip
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Enjoying experimenting with this camera to film. However, I have found the camera's body is a bit hard to grip when not on the shooting grip (in the accessory kit), and I wish it had some kind of textured grip.

Good 4K.... Horrible Zoom noise.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So this is great for Vlogging and video.... Except you need to set your zoom. If you zoom in or out while filming, you hear the lens noise zooming in or out.

To decrease the likelihood of recording the zoom sound try setting the Zoom Speed to Normal (MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Zoom Speed] → Normal).

- Cons mentioned:Flash
No Flash?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn’t have a flash. I really like this camera but 650+100+2year warranty. I mean I have to drop another 100+ to get flash? Does no one use this at night? I’m probably going to return this because I need something that can go day to night without too many accessories.
