Small yet powerful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this camera to take picture of my toddler running around. I also wanted to be able to take selfies. I was impressed by the autofocus speed and I appreciated how this low end Sony camera had a touch screen, which is so invaluable these days. However, I have a good amount of photography skills and I don't usually just stay in AUTO. With that said, there wasnt enough custom buttons to be able to make fast changes on the fly, and in some cases, certain settings required a deep menu dive. Lastly, I had some issue with sony jpegs colors (shooting in Raw only and post processing isn't an option for me).
