As far as the camera, Sony lives up to it's reputation of creating fantastic cameras (Canon, Nikon, and Fuji film beware!). Close ups, landscapes, and low light pictures turn out fantastic! However, zooming, not so great (but, I already have one of the Sony Zoom cameras). The only drawbacks that I have encountered, or have noticed, would be, Sony also living up to it's reputation of making products that are a little fragile. Prior to buying the camera, I would recommend buying a case for it. Keep in mind it will be clunking around in your bag, or car seat, I like to keep my electronics safe. I bought a drawstring bag for one of the smaller DSLR lenses, There are case specifically designed for this camera, but they are a little pricy. Also, I am not sure if the battery life is so low because I bought the camera used, or, the battery life is just a little low. You may want to buy an extra battery. Keep in mind that wifi can be a bit of a battery hog, that combined with taking pictures and videos, can really drain the battery.
In Summary :
Pros :
Fantastic close ups
Fantastic landscape
Fantastic low light
Great for fireworks
Compact
Great design
Cons :
Can be difficult to sync (must follow the instructions)
Fragile, get a case
May need to buy a back up battery and charger
So, if you can follow the instructions, and be a little patient, things will work out well.
1. Lag - Outdoors under sunlight, indoors, an area with too many access points, outside in the city. It lags where I cannot even take the picture I want because the opportunity is gone. It tries to adjust at the cost of not being able to function at a speed a normal point and shoot can.
2. Lack of flash - yes people still use this.
3. Barely fits the larger Note 3 phones.
4. Really? Wifi??? Sometimes if the phone is configured to connect to other pre-programmed wifi hotspot or access point, it will fight with the camera and disconnect leaving me with a "Internet not available disconnecting" message rendering my camera useless.
5. When wanting to browse the pictures on the device (from the phone) it self that didn't download to the phone, it is difficult and would disconnect before it would allow you to do it.
6. I need to disconnect the camera to post the picture directly to anything social media related. Since the phone is looking for internet and notices that the Sony camera doesn't have it, it will disconnect and then re-connect to your phone service to upload.
7. By the time I get the camera ready, the opportunity is gone.
8. Software that is in the camera's internal memory has nothing to do with the camera and is not compatible with the camera. Why was it included?
If this product line is to survive, I suggest to Sony, use Bluetooth. Needing to disconnect from the camera to connect to 4g/LTE to post a picture is ridiculous and takes up to a minute to perform. Also, put a flash in the darn thing. I am sure they know how to do that since they also made Sony RX II with its tiny flash. A few more functions such as being able to set how long exposure time is, and better aperture control would be nice. And last, make sure it can save the pictures to another folder on the phone, lets say, the DCIM folder on the SD card on the phone maybe where the gallery program can find it and not on the phone itself under the "Sony Memories" folder where gallery cannot find it. I was hoping that this was my point and shoot that I would carry and use everywhere. I am resigned to the fact that I will probably need to buy a point and shoot and look back at this and say "It was a good try" don't get me wrong, these take very good pictures under ideal circumstances (no wifi interference, not so much light, stationary and no need to post it right away), but it didn't hit my standards. Sorry Sony.
