What reviewers say
Reviews praise detailed images, handling, stabilisation and extensive video features at a competitive price. Photography Blog recommends it for action and wildlife. Amateur Photographer finds slower subject acquisition and weaker tracking of erratic movement than expensive stacked-sensor rivals, plus modest battery life. Both value the screen and viewfinder while wanting automatic subject selection.
