    I enjoyed the camera shooting stills. Unfortunately, when shooting video in 4K, the camera overheated.

    First off, I sold all my canon gear for an sony a6000 and now this a6500. They're lightyears ahead in technological advancements. The autofocus capabilities are WICKED fast and make life easier, even though I used to pull focus manually, I rarely use it unless I use my adapted canon FD lenses. I bought this camera for its 4k video capabilities but find myself shooting portraits often. This lil camera really has inspired me. There's a LOT of features that can be confusing to a beginner. But, for the price it really is a game changer! My only complaints are rolling shutter warping in video(not a big deal at all.) and a cluttered menu.(customizable buttons help a lot) This camera is a phenomenal little powerhouse! paired with some of the Sony G lenses, this camera will take professional quality portraits, and produce professional quality video!
