Great and Versatile Lil Thing!
Love this thing! Affordable (in terms of mirror less, high-quality cams), compact, and easy to use. The app is decent but I personally don’t use it all that much. I see where it could be useful though. My favorite thing is the preset settings it has. Want a warmer, cooler, lower contrast, etc? It has a preset. If that doesn’t suit your needs, the settings are super easy to run through and adjust. The touch-screen is fantastic, it may be a little harder to use if you have larger hands (I would use a stylus if that’s the case) for me it’s great. Very responsive and good image. I mainly use it for streaming on twitch. This is where there’s a small but understandable downside. Which is the USB function caps out at 720p30fps. If you use a hdmi cable with a capture card though, the quality improvement is insane! (Tip: Elgato is overpriced imo, I suggest looking at Mirabox. Has done me well the last few months and has really nice build quality.) Don’t want to read all that? Well here’s the conclusion: Get it. It’s great if a quality budget camera is what you’re looking for.

GreatVlog Camera - not ideal for photos (obvi lol)
Originally bought this camera for the Eras Tour in New Orleans! This camera has great quality for up close videos and it's super easy to carry around. I'm a newbie at camera, so I didn't know that it didn't come with an additional lens nor a flash. For videos I don't need a flash, but when I wanted to take some pictures I did want a flash. You can purchase additional accessories like a flash attachment if you are mainly taking videos. The zoom is good, but not for long distance. Probably could do 20 feet max. It was perfect for the concert, and the audio quality was perfect. Only wish the zoom was better and I could see Taylor better in the videos. ( but that's my bad for not doing research) Otherwise this camera is perfect for vacations where you want to video your travels/family/friends!
