    This was the best purchase ever, I previously had an action camera and it just did not give me the high quality I was looking for but the SONY is perfect! I have so many people ask about it and ask what camera I have based on my videos and the pictures are great too!

    Camera quality of for videos is really good. My you tube videos look very professional and it captures a lot of good lighting. Not impressed with the microphone, but there are a lot of great options in the market which are compatible to attach with it. A memory card purchase will be required separate from this camera.

    i absolutely loved the camera ! i was very upset when arriving to pick my camera up for them to have ALMOST given me a used camera. it wasn’t until the lady at the pickup station clarified with me that i got a brand new one. they had to send the used one to the back and took about 20 minutes to find a brand new one to give to me. overall the camera has great quality, affordable, and i am so grateful for the women who noticed the error.
