Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lens is a little slow to focus in low light. There was a firmware update to help with this. Takes great pictures. Good value.

Love this camera!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched over from Canon and this camera really delivers. The menu is a little crazy and you really have to play with the camera. The images are clear and bright. You will need to take some time for the learning curve. Sony does not make everything seemless, but like all new things it will take some getting used too. I am excited to have this camera and if your thinking of going pro with a mirrorless, this is the best camera to start with. I caught it on sale and I'm glad I made the purchase.

Great budget lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off this is a 200 dollar lens. It is not one of the Sony zeiss lenses so I don't expect much from it. Image sharpness to me is good but not great. Lens is however very light weight and fits nicely on camera. The auto focus is noisy and a bit slow on the a72. My A6000 does a much better job with auto focus. Low light the lens has a hard time finding focus. In full manual mode it's great. It's a 200 dollar lens. No complaints.
