    My holiday shopping was a breeze because the Sony Vlog Camera was on my granddaughter's list and it was in stock ready waiting for me to put it in the shopping basket. The best highlight of the purchase was being able to see my granddaughter's face when she opened her gift. Feeling like the greatest grandma in the whole world when Santa provided her the best gift, ever! LOL

    Overpriced Flawed Camera

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The camera is likely great for a beginning vlogger as it does have some pretty nice quality pictures for up close shots. However, anything I tried to take a picture of that wasn’t static from a distance the auto focus would freak out and the picture quality would look mediocre. The Tripod mount for some reason was also way off the side and made it more difficult to balance with my tripod compared to my other cameras that have it on the center. Perhaps I just got a dud or maybe it needed a software update that came out later after I returned it but at the time I got it was $400+ up-to-date, and had all these issues. I can’t really say that it was worth it. I think this could be great within $250-$300 but with the issues it had, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re solely looking into for vlogging.
