What reviewers say

Reviewers praise image quality, portability, battery endurance and the responsive touchscreen, while finding viewfinder autofocus dated. Amateur Photographer recommends its beginner-friendly handling and effective live-view tracking. Photography Blog is more critical of the cropped 4K mode without Dual Pixel AF and suggests considering mirrorless alternatives for the live-view experience.
