    Great for doing podcasts and zoom calls! This is a purpose built camera for video, as such, the photos it takes aren't the best. However, l set the camera up once with all the settings for my particular video studio setup. It produces great low noise video on lesser lit situations. Well lit sets pop like magic! Setting up as a live stream/zoom camera is easy and produces 720 video. So not super crisp amazing footage, but probably the best video on the zoom call! This camera is perfect for short form content as well! All around great for podcasters or youtubers that have a stationary studio! I haven't used it hand held yet, so can't make any review about that.

    Beginner's Vlog Camera

    I am pleased with this camera overall. It is my first beginner camera that I use for vlogging. The menu system is easy to use for recording videos and taking pictures. It is lightweight and convenient to travel with. However, the camera's appearance is made of plastic and looks basic compared to other Sony cameras. Despite its appearance, it performs well for my needs. If you are a beginner looking for a basic vlogging camera to practice on, this is a good choice.

    It’s a good camera. Perfect to start vlogging for my YouTube channel. It’s easy to use and really small, so it can fit in my purse. I can carry it with me anywhere. The quality for such a small camera is good as well, it has tracking and auto focus.

    This camera is best for beginner level vlogging content creation! I ordered it last month on the 27th and it came earlier than expected to arrive! Highly recommend: SD adapter card reader and Sandisk sd card and tripod stand and possibly a land yard to hold it and a screen protector for the screen! But yes definitely 10/10 !
