I was suprised this would overheat recording in 4k
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera. The problem I had though with this camera was that it would over heat in 4k when recording for a 15 minutes. There is an option to turn the over heat threshold higher. But I definitely didn't feel comfortable with that. My rationale for not using that feature is just logic. If they didn't design the camera to operate at a higher temperature as a default then why push the threshold and put heavier wear on the device itself? Other than that this camera is easy to use and already setup for vlogging making use super easy to get into. If you can get past the limitations of limited time recording in 4k and are stabilization is alright but not the greatest but there are ways around this. if you can deal with that this camera is great!

Great
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to take more photos of my pups instead of just using my iPhone Pro Max. It is small and easy to carry. I don’t really know much about digital cameras and this was easy to use and takes great pictures. There are so many different cameras to choose from but if you want an easy point and shoot, I recommend this.

So far so good, there’s some pros and cons.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for vlogging and on the go shooting. Love the cinematic mode and product display feature. Do note the charger/usb is NOT included. That was surprising, but the camera can be charged using a usb you already own. But I recommend buying a quality charger or using something with a high wattage. I tried using a regular usb and the camera would not charge. I thought something was wrong with it but nope. Also the battery dies a bit quick if shooting constantly in 4K. I recommend getting an extra battery if your constantly on the go. Camera does overheat from time to time(apparently it is a Sony problem) but again that’s with shooting for over 1hr non stop in 4K. Overall 4/5 . Love the quality of my content but I wish I knew about the usb and battery life on the day that I purchased so I could buy everything I needed then and there.
