Bought this to replace my old blogging camera. This one is much better focused on the sound coming from my voice. Intonations are better captured, external noise is dampened. Image quality is what you would expect from a 48-megapixel camera. I found the color is the same as in the video. I don't have to edit much from light to dark. It's compact and light enough to be carried around for at least 10 minutes at a time without hand fatigue. I didn't use the remote as it has nothing to do with what I'm doing. I've made 3 videos so far and uploading them was easy and hassle free. I am happy with my purchase and would buy again. I'd like an extended lever, but I use a movable one anyway, so it's fine. would increase the cost. But I do suggest getting some kind of tripod, but I love all the extra accessories that come with this camera. I will definitely buy a new tripod for this camera!
