What reviewers say
Both praise detailed images, autofocus, handling and the value of its 8K video features. Photography Blog prefers its customisable controls for hybrid use and finds high-ISO images strong for the resolution. Amateur Photographer notes that demanding lenses help realise the sensor's detail, reports unreliable pixel-shift merging in its test, and finds walking video needs additional support for steadier footage.
