    Poor parking mode
    Initial release issues (double beeping) High price tag
    Final Word Replaces the popular A800. Best 4K video quality during the day at this price. Rear camera is OK. Good value for your money. Best 4K video quality to date. If initial issues are resolved, this camera will be an excellent buy. A full featured dual camera (4K front, 2K rear). High price tag and not the best video quality are big cons. Buy only if you are looking for some of the premium features.
