    Don’t like that camera does not have a flash. It’s a fine camera for videos but it limits the places I can take photos since it doesn’t have a flash. I wouldn’t recommend this camera for the price.

    It’s a really great camera for a beginner! Easy to use & not complicated. I highly recommend it! And the playback sound quality actually was shocking. I was contemplating getting a mic aside from the bundle I purchased and I didn’t need it!

    Love this camera. I am a professional musician and I bought this camera to do reels for Instagram. I did a lot of the recording outside, in the wind, and people are extremely impressed by the video sound. Easy to use. Works great with the app for self-recording. I was tired of the hassle of getting the videos out of my phone and this was worth the investment for the project I'm working on.
