    if anybody’s wondering this camera is good for recording podcast especially once that are almost 2 hours long. With the right SD card and right charger this is the perfect camera to start with.

    I thought this. had a headphone jack but it does not. Because of that, I returned it. However, if you want just a straight up vlogging camera that is an easy set up and don't care about the mic jack, it's a good deal and Sony makes great product.

    Great little camera. Needs help definitely with stabilizing with software when your walking around. But for vlogging it’s perfect. Don’t buy this thinking your making a movie with it because that’s not what it’s for.

    No real zoom feature

    Within 5 minutes of taking this camera out of the box I discovered that the lens has no zoom. It has a digital zoom that barely zooms in. My 12 year old camera from 2012 is 10x better than this and was half the price. I spent a lot of time researching this camera, reading over the specs, reviews and watching videos about it and somehow missed this detail. The price is outrageous for the fact that this doesn't have a lens that can actually zoom in - what's the point of even buying a traditional style camera without this feature? You might as well get a webcam or just keep using your phone. So disappointed. I am sending this back and hoping for a refund. The worst thing is that if I lived in a location that wasn't in the middle of nowhere I could have tried a floor model and figured this out in a matter of seconds before I made such a poor purchase. So, if you're looking for a camera that actually has zoom or the features of a real camera look elsewhere.
