wonderful step up from point and shoot
wonderful step up from point and shoot
|Posted .Wonderful step up from point and shoot. Got it with a kit lens: 16-50mm. The lens is versatile enough, however the sharpness is reduced towards the edge of pictures! (if you really blow the picture up and look closely). With better lens will definitely improve overal sharpness. Panoramic scene shooting mood is tricky to execute.
I would recommend this to a friendSorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Rated 4 out of 5 stars

|Posted .Love everything about it. The flip screen, the size, and definitely its features. Although I wish there was an easier way to transfer all types of the video setting and not just the mp4. Besides that its perfect for someone on the go like me that want that perfect photo.

Great Vlogging Camera
Great Vlogging Camera
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Ease of use, For video, Picture qualityI upgraded from a Nikon coolpix camera and it was the best decision! I needed a camera that wouldn’t break the bank, but would give me quality video for vlogging. I’m glad I made the investment, it is user friendly and puts out quality video. The only issue is that it will occasionally overheat while filming. Luckily I primarily use it for product review and I shoot in small increments. I also was able to get more out of the still photos after taking a class at my Best Buy location.

Q: QuestionWhen I capture in RAW how do I get the RAW images transferred to my phone via the app? When I transfer the images that I capture in RAW they transfer to my phone in JPEG format? nd I want the RAW image to edit...
Asked by KAC
- A:Answer Hi KAC, as of this right now, the RAW image transfer to phone via App is not supported yet. The best way to transfer RAW image to the phone is to use an SD Card Reader to lightning/micro-usb/usb-c depending on your phone connection.

Q: QuestionWill this work paired with a 55-210 lens (4.5f) for indoor volleyball? I know I need a high iso, high burst rate and low f-stop for indoor volleyball. The courts my daughter plays on are generally fairly well lit but with fluorescent lighting. I am taking pictures on my Galaxy s5 and actually get some decent images at iso800 using burst rate. But I definitely want to step up my game. I have looked at the a6000 but it seems a bit out of my price range. Can I pair this with the Sony 55-210 f4.;5 lens and expect decent results?
Asked by Co_Dad
- A:Answer ISO works great at high levels ive shot with ISO8000 with barely some noise. Telephoto has a min shot distance of 3ft. if you keep it around 50 - 100 you'll get a nice aperture.
