    Pictures go straight into jpeg and can make it harder to export and can make the photos worse.

    The camera is alright for starting off. The video quality and the exposure is kinda bad but it’s sort of me getting what I’m paying for. I just recommend starting off on a phone and moving forward, splurge on that professional camera

      Hi AshelyC, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with the camera. When it comes to data transferring, we recommend to use a memory card, such as a UHS II V90 grade card with a high transfer rate as it will make a big difference with the time it takes to transfer. For more information, please contact Sony Support at 239-245-6360. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Linda 01-05-24 Sony Social Support Sony_US

    Doesn’t have a flash and it doesn’t adjust well enough to take photos w/o one. The app that transfers/connects your camera to your phone is somewhat glitchy too.

    The focus is horrendous if you’re trying to walk and vlog. You’re going to spend more money on a flash and have to buy a bunch of add ons. Buy another camera. I think this is okay for pictures, but for that just get a digital camera with flash honestly.
