    This thing BLEW my mind. Coming from a Nikon D7000, I was blown away with the technological advances we've reached in photography. I do not have any complaints about this camera. I was lucky to pick it up at a fairly decent discounted price during black Friday sales, and am very very happy. The kit lens is nothing special, but generally speaking, all kit lenses aren't incredible anyways. I was impressed with the low light capabilities (paired up with 1.8 prime lenses) of this camera. Even at high ISO numbers, the files are incredible. Sony did a phenomenal job with this camera! And please, shoot RAW people.

    If you are reading this you already know the camera is a great entry level mirrorless camera. Just be sure to update the firmware ASAP. But what you maybe wondering is what about the kit lens? Well for the price it is a good value. It is a 3.5 to 5.6 lightweight zoom lens and it is optically stabilized. For daylight shooting at F8 to F11 the results are quite acceptable. But you go into a low light environment you may find the lens limitations cramping your style a bit. Better to consider the Tamron 28-75 2.8, if you can live with the 28 low end limitation, but is it worth nearly four times the cost of this kit lens? That is for you to decide.

    This is the best camera for the money, better than the Canon EOS R or Nikon equivalent. I also paired mine with an 85mm F1.8 lense and it works wonders. The photo quality is amazing and the 4k video is also amazing, autofocus is the fastest I've ever had. The metal body feels nice and it's easy to hold. Dropped the camera on accident from 5 feet up and there was a small cosmetic scratch, nothing more. would 100% recommend BUT don't get this combo with the lense get the body only and then buy a better lense, this kit lense was horrible.

    Spectacular camera for photography and videography (not good for long video sessions, as it can overheat and is limited to about 29min by Sony to prevent that from happening) Battery life is pretty good, I’d recommend picking up at least one more battery. Definitely get your self some nice UHS-II SD cards to fully take advantage of this camera and to make your workflow easier. If you have the money and feel like you will use this camera often, definitely buy it. If you’re just getting into photography and are unsure, maybe look at some mft cameras.
