    This camera is everything we needed. It is small and easy to carry. The autofocus is superb and well as low light photography. The 4k video is stunning. Of course, it is fully manual to allow for all the adjustment you need.

    I had a cannon before this one for 6 years and was amazed by this beauty. And it mirror Lea which means it lighter to carry around. I definitely recommend this camera for people who travel or like to take photos. It’s amazing.

    For me this is a huge upgrade from a point-and-shoot camera. I am not experienced with SLR/DSLR cameras in manual mode. So, although this camera has all kinds of manual settings, I have been using the automatic mode. I've used it for still photos and video. I've also used the camera as a web cam using the USB cable. It was not obvious how to do this, but with a bit of searching on Google or YouTube you can find instructions. There are several pages of menu options to change settings. I find them well organized. The kit lens is not particularly good for distance. I guess that's the nature of interchangeable lens cameras. Use the right lens for the task. I just have the kit lens for now.

    Really enjoy this camera !! The quality is great the amount of adjustments you can make on the camera is awesome ! I think it’s a great starter camera because you can switch out the lens as well! Took it to a family party and everyone loved the way the pictures came out ! And had a couple people ask me the name of the camera!
