    Great picture quality and easy to manage the different features. However, you have to go back to the menu to change certain features which is kind of annoying. I definitely recommend watching reviews online as they helped me make my decision.

    I got a good deal on the camera, but it is definitely a down grade coming from a crisp, clear photos of a canon. Still love it and love that the screen flips up so that you can record with perfect from. Sending photos directly to your smart phone is an awesome benefit as well.

    Many people are a bit intimidated by those big DSLR and dont want to invest so much to get a great looking picture. This camera solves that problem and more. With the huge APSC sensor and the interchangeable E-mount lens, this camera can get you in the door to bringing up the game on your pictures while still giving you the ability to take it up even more with extra lenses and accessories.

    If you are looking for mirroless cam this is the one. after months in research cost and quality wise Sony seems the best choice, especially in wright and features. The latter seemed a bit overwhelming at first but will ease in usage.

    Amateur photographer here and it it's the best starter camera! I've had Canon Rebel in the past and it's physically more appealing and also much easier to lug around. The features are great for such a compact camera.

    Purchased this camera as an upgrade for a basic point-and-shoot. Overall it takes wonderful photos. There are many in-camera options, and it is a great bridge between a basic point-and-shoot and a dSLR, since this camera has manual modes which allow you to have greater control over your photography but less pricey than a dSLR. The interchangable lenes also allow you to elevate your photography to the next level.
