Customer Reviews
Most helpful customer reviews
Positives
- Time lapse function is great. I've used five second internal to catch a sunset and one minute interval to capture entire overnight period. Windows Movie Maker offers a quick, easy way to make a video from all the still shots.
- Slo-mo and super slo-mo video settings are a blast, especially with kids, dogs and sports. It's always been possible to make slo-mo effects in post-production software, but it's so nice to have the camera shoot it natively so you can just watch it straightaway.
- Wide angle lens opens up all kinds of unique shooting opportunities and new perspectives on familiar subjects.
- Without the case, the camera itself is super small and lightweight -- perfectly suitable to carry around in your pocket and shoot at will.
- The case is small and includes a standard threaded mount on the bottom, so you can use any tripod or other accessories.
Negatives
- Sony's PlayMemories PC software is clunky, bloated and nonintuitive. Luckily, I haven't found any reason it's necessary to use.
- Can't view images or videos on the mobile app -- only via micro MDMI plug.
- On-unit display is an old-school LCD with only three buttons to control (forward, backward, enter), so it's somewhat hard to use. (But once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. I've actually found the lack of viewfinder liberating -- I just shoot a lot and then download to see what I came up with.)
- Lens is fully exposed and gets dirty quickly. Or if it's in the case, that part of the case gets dirty/smudged instead. Keep a lens cleaner handy always.
