Pros & Cons
Pros
Still learning to use it. Wifi feature is also very useful. The app is great. But as an amateur, it's awesome.

Cons
It sounds great on paper but works in a clunky way. It is slow and fails to deliver a good focus. Many phone cameras have slow motion.

Packaging/appearance
Was disappointed in not receiving a booklet on how to use the camera.
Competitiveness
This camera was purchased as a gift for a 13yr old boy who is fairly new at using a camera.
I bought the sony a5000 camera used to begin to learn how to use and practice taking pics/vids.
I bought the sony a5000 camera at a discount because it was preowned.
