    Perfect for beginners. The only downfall is no flash but an external flash is always an option which is what I used.

    A great starting camera. Quality it’s self is okay but there are some flaws. For instance that app that is used to transfer the footage to doesn’t always work. It’ll say you have no memory space on a brand new sd card & there is no resolution to that. Also the battery life is HORRIBLE so it is best to purchase additional batteries on the side. But the camera is very easy to work & light weight to carry.

    This camera was fantastic. The quality was far better than what you would expect in something in this price range (~$500 for me). We used this in a static/tripod configuration for an interview type video and it was fantastic. The integration with other equipment was flawless and we loves how it lookes. Definitely recommend this for any one vlogging on a budget.

    This camera cost me $500. I was shocked. sure, the camera is better than the one on my 2 year old android but that's all it is - a camera. It can't even make calls, no internet, no calculator, calendar, text etc. seems expensive, but then again, I don't buy cameras, usually. I am very happy with the image quality but i think i better get me a microphone separately. I did struggle with the menu. It doesn't seem intuitive.
