    I choose this camera to do videos on the media. Very difficult to use when you want vertical videos. The best buy salesman recommend it for vlog videos, its why I brought it. I have to returned,

    What a great light and compact camera! I will solely be using it for streaming (which is fine for 4k @30fps. Also, you can can shoot s-log 3 for color grading in post. If needed, there is a 40.5mm thread to add a variable ND filter to utilize your DOF while shooting video at your desired ISO or shutter speed. Fun little and useful camera.

    This camera is great for beginners. If you download the Sony creators app you can control it from your phone. I’ve had a little trouble uploading photos to my phone from the camera because the connection isn’t always great. Otherwise it is an easy camera to use, especially in auto-shoot mode.

    I was a bit skeptical about the camera since it's the cheapest of the ZV line, however I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend this camera! The video quality and stabilization is great, and having a touch screen conpared to previous models is so nice. I don't recommended this for pictures, but it can do the job if needed

    The camera quality is what I’m looking over. I’m not a blogger, but I love the nostalgia of my dad walking around with his camcorder catching special moments in our lives or with family ! The sound is pretty good with the build in mic, and does have a plug in for wired or wireless mics.
