This video camera is wonderful; it's so versatile! It's yet capable and very easy to use of running by hand and allowing lots of versatility for advanced photographers. Shooting RAW is a choice. Likewise, the Tamron lens removes the requirement to deal with different lenses as it goes all the method from 18mm to 250mm! I've been really pleased with this camera and have no grievances ... just need to scale down.
