Rated 5 out of 5

Perfect for my needs

I am very pleased with this camera, the Compact design with so much control is really nice. I am still getting to know it and I am having fun. I am still shopping for a good mic for it to be able to have that quality sound but the sound it’s internal mic records is actually pretty nice and balanced. If you’re looking for a nice compact workhorse of a camera I would highly recommend this. Long battery life. Perfect run and gun for superior image quality.
