I am using this camera for this past year and I can say that I am satisfied with the quality it provided. The camera supports the external microphone. Specially if you are a vlogger just add a external microphone and a gorillapod and go for it. The shutter speed is really good and you can have great pictures from your camera. Ther apperture is also at its best so without second thought go for it. The only drawback of this camera is that it does not have a tiltable screen which gives problem while vlogging. If you are buying for genral purpose go for it and if you are a vlogger dont buy this camera.
