    I LOVE THIS CAMERA! Honestly it doesn’t zoom in much because it’s mostly for vlogs but that can be over looked. Plus I feel like it should also so zoom out a little more, but I mean come on, couldn’t beat the price with the bundle for a brand new camera! I Also wish the little wig accessory for the mic actually looked like that in the picture.

    The camera is great and a perfect starter/beginner camera. The picture and video quality is very nice, but just not worth the $400 price tag.
