While shutter speed and exposure can be changed, aperture cannot.
Con Live mode has slow autofocus
Con Poor movie mode implementation
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.
