Great camera for the price, but no option 4 flash
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera for the price. It appears that you can add a flash, but you cannot. Only a light that is either on, or off. The missing flash option is the reason for only 4 stars.

Vlog Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for everyday videos. The battery life is good, but some extra batteries and a separate charger help significantly when filming all day. Make sure you buy an SD card when you buy this as it does not come with one.

Not my fav but still good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for beginners. The only downfall is no flash but an external flash is always an option which is what I used.

The smile on my son's face. Priceless!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the camera because my son started getting into downloading things to his YouTube channel. We looked around for many cameras. We heard this one was fairly easy to use. It looks really good. Wish it had a little bit more accessories like the camera strap you know so it don't fall on the floor...

Great Camera for Photos & Quick Video
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this camera for my girlfriend’s birthday and it works phenomenal if you’re just looking for an easy camera to take on the go for pictures or quick video this is a great camera for you. There is no flash so you would need to buy a ring light option but there are so many accessories you can throw on this camera is extremely versatile and a great choice if you’re looking for a starter camera

I rate this camera a 4 out of 5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this camera as a starter vlog camera. The video quality is ok not perfect but it’s great if you’re just starting out with vlogging and need a good camera that isn’t too high in price. The focus could be a lot better but it works fine for now.

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.

Great Start to Social Media!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good beginners video camera. This is my first camera I’ve ever owned so I’m new to all of it. It’s a great replacement to your phone. That’s basically the ideal purpose for it. Great for social media. 4k quality, external mic port, easy enough settings! Highly recommend.

Great little camera.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as my main webcam and it is great for that purpose. The image quality is awesome for that purpose when connected to a 4K adapter. Also, not a bad point and shoot camera that can also do video.
