Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Easy to monitor what you're filming
Has a display that can rotate up to 180 degrees, letting you film yourself easily and also see what you're filming at the same time.
Pro Has strong optical zoom
Can zoom in up to 40x with Optical Image Stabilization.
Pro Produces good quality for the size
Produces really good quality, especially in well-lit situations. Thanks to its 1/2.3 inch size sensor. It excels at 1080p, but 4K is a bit too soft and isn't enough of an improvement over 1080p.
Pro Compact
It's about the size of a smartphone, just considerably thicker. It should still fit in your pocket with relative ease. With its dimensions being 110.1 x 63.8 x 39.9mm.
Cons
Con Not the best for low-light situations
Due to its small sensor, it lacks performance in low-light scenarios. Like late dusk. The quality degrades severely because of the camera's small sensor, which can go up to only 3200 ISO.
