There is a lot of crippling done on this Camera as well, No IS, No RAW and no PDAF. Cellphones this camera is targeting these days all come with said features(iPhones even have RAW video).

I struggle to see how this is worth it if you already own a decent smartphone. There is limited background blur and those 1" Sony sensors render faces all shiny and mushy. Perhaps being able to see yourself whilst vlogging is its main utility? If you are absolutely limited to $500 though, there are better second-hand solutions out there.

Atleast GoPro's are waterproof and have a good range of accessories(1st party and 3rd party) to customize the camera for various situations.

That is what I thought. It is oversized but at least has a larger LCD, and with crop the GoPro demo's I have seen on R/C cars bumping around sure look steady. DJI came out with their new mini gopro like clone too.
