I like the camera! I was torn between the Sony zv1 and the canon g7x. However so it’s popularity the canon ended up being back ordered with no update on when they’d be available again. Everyone said they were similar so I decided to try my hand. I bought a pre owned one that was offered to be like new. It was! Though this isn’t related to Best Buy directly my one complaint is that it comes with no batteries or a charger. So be prepared to buy one, especially multiple batteries as I’d say they last about an hour during filming. My one qualm with Best Buy in itself is that, I don’t know how thorough they check pre owned returns, but the usb provided was not compatible with the camera. While the camera does offer Bluetooth sharing via camera to phone, if you’re already at max capacity storage wise with your phone it’s pointless. Please make sure the usb provided IS the usb that’s for the camera. Now I have to come out of pocket yet again for yet another accessory just to transfer my videos to my laptop. Thank you!

I bought the item as “brand new” but received it with an open box so I’m assuming it was used, which makes it feel like I overpaid for the camera. At first I was concerned but so far the product has been doing exactly what I expected. It works well, the battery lasts longer than I thought and the quality of both videos and pictures are great!

This was good for recording video. If that’s your only focus, I’d recommend going with this. If you’re wanting something for photography, consider other options. Picture taking was okay. It struggles more than I would have preferred with lower light settings

Great portable camera for video. The menu is easy to navigate and you can quickly learn how to use the camera. The one weakness is the size of the sensor limits low light image quality, but for most people this won't be an issue, and there really is no alternative if you want a camera this small and portable. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

Great camera especially for beginner and vloggers! Small lightweight and easy to store and travel with. The only downside I would say is that the battery dies kind of quickly even when fully charged.
