    This little camera is fantastic, its light, charges relatively quickly, and has a great lens for the price. I would recommend getting an ND filter just in case anyone shoots manual and wants to commit to a specific shutter speed

    It’s cool if you are just wanting to pick up the camera and shoot. Factory settings are superior for beginners. I love the simplicity and ease of use. It’s very light, even with the gimbal attached. There are some technical difficulties with the app and connection issues not sticking.

    If you're transitioning from filming with your phone and don't want to spend too much upgrading, this camera is a great stepping stone. Vloggers will want a wider lens, and this is the only option right now if you want something wider than 24mm. Missing some features from it's older sibling, the ZV-1, but if you're starting out, you probably won't be using those features for a while.
