    I bought this camera for podcasting in my studio, sadly it doesn't do it's job. Exposure is way off and noisy even at lower ISO levels. Photo quality is okay, very good to shoot on Sunny day.

    Difficult to switch back to photo mode from video. Read manual and watched videos to see if I was missing something other than the obvious button to switch, but couldn’t figure it out. It’s for vlogging but I thought I could use it more practically and take photos only.

    The focus is horrendous if you’re trying to walk and vlog. You’re going to spend more money on a flash and have to buy a bunch of add ons. Buy another camera. I think this is okay for pictures, but for that just get a digital camera with flash honestly.

    I have had this camera for over one year and I would NOT recommend anyone to waste their money on this product. This camera randomly stopped working one day. Now, when trying to record a video, there are black lines covering the screen which ruins the whole video. So, what’s the point of having a vlogging camera that doesn’t produce good quality video?
