What reviewers say

Both reviews liked the image quality, open-gate flexibility and stabilisation, but missed a viewfinder in bright light. Amateur Photographer praised the familiar controls and autofocus while criticising screen brightness and missing cinema controls. Pickr found the control layout awkward, despite responsive operation and good value. Both considered it a capable video-focused body with photographic compromises.
