    [Employee of bestbuy] I absolutely LOVE this camera! I am no camera expert by any means, but I thoroughly did my research before purchasing this camera. I am a YouTuber (channel: Natural NeNe) and I was looking for a camera to mainly record my videos with. I wanted to upgrade from my iPhone 11 to a camera and this one is perfect! I don't understand why so many people are against this camera, but I personally love it! The video quality is what I was looking for and it is AMAZING! It is sharp, clear and the camera stays in focus on a product or even on myself. The picture quality is also great for my thumbnails and just for pictures in general. The slots for the battery and SD card are perfect and they fit well. All of the controls such as the on/off button, record button, and picture button are easy to access on the screen or manually on the camera. I have had this camera for almost 2 weeks and I am already used to it. I cannot wait to start vlogging and recording with my new camera! I also highly recommend this camera for YouTubers or for anyone who wants to have good picture and video quality for memories.

    I bought the camera because my son started getting into downloading things to his YouTube channel. We looked around for many cameras. We heard this one was fairly easy to use. It looks really good. Wish it had a little bit more accessories like the camera strap you know so it don't fall on the floor...
