Looks like a great camera but a 700 + page instruction manual- that is only available on line - that I had difficulty getting to and downloading - plus so many links within the manual taking me to other instructions, is very confusing. When ordering, it would have been great to know that battery charger, memory card, and cables had to be purchased separately. Almost wish I kept my old camera.

It's good for vlogging if you stay in one place or if you use a gimbal. I hate using a gimbal while vlogging and the stabilization while moving around was just not good enough for me. Another reason I got this was for taking pictures while in Saint Martin and just about every picture I took had motion blur in it. I prefer the Panasonic Z10 for a point and shoot camera. I love Canon but this camera was just not for me, so had to return.
I really, really wanted to love this camera. It's great quality, perfect built-in lens for vlogging, and the internal mic actually sounds really good! I have two complaints about this camera that may lead me to wait for future software upgrades or version 2: the battery life and the overheating problem. I can't film for more than 10 minutes at a time without getting an overheating symbol, even if I am inside with the AC running a fan. The camera just gets WAY too hot way too quickly. It made filming frustrating. The battery life also isn't the best, I had to buy extra batteries just to be able to film for more than hour. I can't imagine using this camera for streaming given how quickly and how often it overheats.
