Seemed like a good camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a fair review but I paid so much money for a camera with a faulty autofocus system. After trying four lenses it just would work as it should. I returned it and paid the difference for an A7R5 that works like a charm. The only problem now is that it showed there was already 649 pictures taken before I even used it. Therefore it was either a return or someone decided to test it out, put it in the box, and sell it as new. I love Best Buy, but they need to do better in the camera department for sure.

Not great for video
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't underestimate the criticism this camera gets on overheating, even in very moderate conditions video in 4K is tough on this camera. Rolling shutter is also very noticeable.

Awesome camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for both video and photography. Perfer ones really well in low light and the quality offered is awesome. The only issues I’ve had with it is the overheating but can be addressed by buying a fan cooler and changing some settings to help extend the overheats a bit.
