    My daughter wanted to try to do a YouTube channel, and this camera wins by far especially with the price comparison to other cameras, it vlogs and records great, had an added filter to the recording to help hide blemishes editing time cut down drastically! WIN WIN!!! if you want to check her out got to youTube at Bigbackmae, she is dropping content in August, She already has about 60 videos ( She wants to drop on a specific day to be ahead)

    The product is good quality, but the camera itself has lower battery life. However it's not a problem if you buy extra camera batteries. The battery life is usually around an hour for just 1 battery.

    Great for Vloggers who need a wide lens

    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.

    Very unhappy with this so far in the short amount of time I've had it. The battery life on it is atrocious and it will constantly overheat and shut off in the middle of any video, messing up my content. Best Buy refused to help with it at all. I would look elsewhere for something better.
