    My husband bought this camera for me and it is my first mirror less camera. The auto focus is really quick and having two little kids this is a great feature to capture great pictures of my kids. This is a great camera especially for beginners but this camera is not only for beginners it has so many great features. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

    Like the camera, but odd that you can not do vertical video & the video download program is difficult to manage. Pictures, etc. are great!

    I bought this camera to use for my streaming, and it's insanely high quality, and supports HDMI output with no interface, so plugged in to a camlink or other capture device you get full quality preview for your stream. Out of the box, you can't power it for long though, so do invest in a dummy battery if you plan to use it for streaming.
