Superb performance on all levels…!

Most people who have given their perspective of less than 5 stars don’t know how to use the camera. It is capable of stunning images and videos. It is tough, portable and fully capable. Just check out the videos on u tube

NEEDS ANOTHER AUTO-FOCUS FIRMWARE UPDATE!
on January 20, 2020

This camera is amazingly compact, looks beautiful and awesome features (especially the mic input). Only reason it's not a 5-star camera is because the auto-focus is horrendous. It's 2020 and the auto-focus for vlogging never focuses on someone's face. It's super frustrating when you're capturing video and everything is out of focus, really, really frustrating when you can't go back in time to recapture a shot. Canon please fix this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The overheating when shooting 4k video sucks, but with the little time you get with it. You can get great video results, and the autofocus can be better.

Fantastic Camera. But it has some flaws that need fixing.

Fantastic Camera. A great new version on it's previous interaction. Great addition was the External MIC support. But there are some flaws. Twice it overheated on 4k, on a house the AC was set at 75F... so it wasn't under the burning sun. And the focus speed is sub par. Mark II has a much better faster autofocus.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This tiny camera packs a punch. It has a ton of features. The photos are crystal clear even when zoomed in and it isn’t a battery hog.
There are so many features that I’m constantly looking up how to do everything.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wasted Potential

I've shot a lot and have had this since day one/launch and with patience I've been getting some decent shots out of this thing. (Lifestyle, product shots, at the beach, indoors.) I was waiting until I could view the RAWs. However, I have to make an effort to make sure what I wanted in focus is in focus. It likes to focus on the background leaving subjects out of focus. Once its locked on though the shots are great. So the AF on stills isn't as bad as with video. But it's so bad for video I don't even consider using it... especially if i wanted to VLOG and can't "man the camera." The focus box shows you're the object, but focuses the opposite. It takes ages to finally lock onto focus, but its fickle to lose it again. That and the overheating while using FHD 120p or 4k. I'm also stuck with 30fps as the lowest framerate it can go. If I switch to PAL I can get 25fps at least. That being said I bought this for my wife who never really used cameras other than a cell phone. I wanted something for her that she can literally point and shoot and maybe she'll gain interest in some gear, but I'm having trouble justifying why things don't work or are out of focus for her. Back to video: I've resorted to finding focus on me, for example, and switching to MF to be able to have peace of mind that it wont jump to the background. Of course, I have to make sure I stay the same distance the whole time though. I still have a few weeks before I am out of my return window and I'm hoping they release a firmware fix. If not, then I know what is going to replace this. (Hint: it has 24fps, doesnt overheat, Eye AF etc)
Pros:
-Size:Feature Ratio
-Ergonomics
-1.8 aperture (W) | 2.8 (T)
-FAST high speed capture
-Touch Screen Menus
-ND filter
-MIC input
-Flip screen
-Wifi/Bluetooth
-Image Stablization in Video is decent enough (no complaints)
-FHD 120/60 fps
-No crop 4k (take a hint EOS R lol)

What I don't Like:
-no view finder
-AUTOFOCUS
-FHD is a little soft
-lack of dual pixal AF
-overheating in 4k and FHD 120p
-no shoe for the mic (not a big deal)
-no 24fps
-contrast focus, not phase detect
-no LOG profile
-constrained ISO in 4k
-battery life could be better

All that being said, I can get decent results out of the camera, but that is not without putting in some solid effort and patience. Using this thing is tedious. I've never googled or looked up a camera (almost daily) AFTER I bought it to find fixes or to see if others share the same problem. What good is a camera if the pictures you care about aren't in focus? What good is a camera with video if the video isn't in focus and you have to throw out footage? What good is a camera that doesn't let you use it because it overheated?

Autofocus wery slow and horrible.
Nice colors and picture but when you shooting the video - autofocus just slow. I can become older faster then this camera can catch me in the focus. Very disappointed about this product.

DOnt ignore the reviews about the autofocus. Your camera will not be different. Their firmware update took it from unusable to barely tolerable.
