Love the little gem

I took videos of some of the famous hot spots in Nashville. Wow, I look like a hot shot video producer. Small camera - BIG results. I am a happy camper. Lewis (your rep) was great - great service!

So far so good!

Bought it mainly for video. Good ergonomics, build, lcd screen. EVF could be brighter, but not bad. Video quality is excellent. Very easy to use!
