Good for YouTubers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good for you Youtubers. It helped me get started. I wanted the white one very badly and I’m very happy. The Best Buy carried it. It comes with very good presets even though I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s still sounds. It looks really good and it’s easy to connect my DGI microphone to. (I did drop it though now my lens doesn’t fully close but that okay …)

Vlogging camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to Purchase this camera to use at my child’s graduation, I decided that I have definitely also wanted the selfie stick as I also grew tired of holding the camera and nervous about dropping it onto the ground. Uploaded some images of both the camera self, as well as the selfie Sony stick. I definitely recommend this camera for both photos and recording as well as vlogging. Be convenient the camera connect to both iPad, his cell phone or you will never regret getting this camera as it is very versatile in what can be done.

This is my first vlogging camera and I bought the Sony HVLF20M flash for it because I found it on sale for 45.99 at Best Buy and wow. It’s everything I wanted and more.

Wait for a sale
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera itself is fantastic! My troubles are with Best Buy’s open box (aka used) items. I had originally purchased this open box camera online through BB at a discounted price of about $65 + $100 off for a sale, and was guaranteed that it would have all its original parts and the product was like new. Unfortunately, the camera they gave me was missing the charging cord and the lens made a concerning sound when I turned the camera off and on. I went in store to replace the camera, which caused me to lose the sale price and, of course, the sale price. My wallet hurts after paying the original price plus losing about $50 in taxes from the original purchase. Don’t make my mistake. Just buy new and wait for a good sale.

Battery Could Be Better
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I have been loving this camera! I bought it primarily with the purpose of taking high quality videos at concerts. It also takes amazing pictures! My two issues are that there is no flash, so you have to buy an external one that attaches with the hot shoe (not the biggest deal for me), and the battery life is not the best when trying to record for extended periods of time so you will definitely need extra batteries.

Posted .Hi Jessdanielle321, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're happy to hear that you are enjoying the camera and thank you for your honest feedback as it helps us to keep improving for future products and software. Due to the nature of processing video, the demand for power to keep the camera running continuously at its best performance is unavoidable and to increase the battery size to increase its life would result in n increase in the camera's physical size. We do appreciate you understanding the reason for extra batteries. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you continue to enjoy the camera and all its features. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda Sony Social Support
Lightweight with Excellent Quality Video
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for the lightweight portability and so far it's been shooting really great video for such a small device! The charge doesn't last as long as I would like, if I don't give it a full charge I feel like it empties out pretty quick. It's not the biggest deal though, I might just buy an extra battery. Powerful and tiny camera perfect for my needs!

Great for videos
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for capturing holiday vacations this camera is better for capturing videos than taking pictures. Sometimes the background is overexposed and I need to learn how to use it better. I also got the color white and after a few use there are black scratch marks on the corners, better to get black.

An Ok, but Overrated Camera with Several Flaws.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is ok but not reliable. It overheats after about 1/2 hr of continuous filming (this was indoor filming, not even outside) and once it does it takes awhile to cool down before you can use it again. My other issue was it didn't play nicely with my Macbook. iPhoto, nor iMovie automatically recognize the SD Cards. I had to manually go in and find the "raw" files on the card. It wasn't hard to find them, once you know where to look, but just annoying.

Don’t purchase it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this camera for a couple of months already. And I’m not entirely sure if it was worth the money. I was indecisive between this and the canon g7x and I was better off going with the canon camera. This camera doesn’t have an integrated flash so it’s not that great for low to dark light settings. The pictures aren’t as crisp and clear as I expected them too. It is a bit heavy to carry around. Video quality is alright, you’re better off recording on your phone. If I could return it I definitely would.
