What reviewers say

Both reviews praised the pleasing images, accessible video controls and value. They highlighted the substantial 4K 60p crop and missing sensor stabilisation and viewfinder. Photography Blog found it a flexible budget hybrid, while TechRadar found the kit lens limiting in low light and the microphone's wind reduction ineffective outdoors.
