I'd rather vlog with a GoPro.
Oh wait, that's why I have a GoPro Hero 10.
Swing and a MISS Sony!

One of the critical features of this camera: it does not support RAW! Choice is JPEG or video.

Seems like a slap in the face to the creator community.

At least it's priced accordingly.

True. Its a children's toy and priced similarly to a gopro I guess.

No, it was on the DPreview review, or my interpretation of what they said.
