    Wonderful camera with excellent photography and far above average video. The video doesn't have the same low light performance as an A7S3 but for hybrid use with good lighting it's amazing

    I've been using this for track meets and nature photography. It takes amazing pictures. With the 61mp sensor, I can crop it for great close-up pictures while remaining sharply focused.

    Fantastic camera. Pictures are super crisp and vibrant. The large megapixel count allows you to crop in, effectively extending the range of your lenses. Upgraded from an A7iii and couldn't be happier.

    arrived today. took it to a test run. seems like it is impossible to take a bad shot with it. But there are lots of things to figure out. along the way, The first shock was lightroom couldn't recognize its ARW file. checking the internet for a solution now. But overall it is a great camera and I am happy to purchased it.
