I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

In general, a light, convenient, ergonomic, fast and functional device. It really differs from professionals in a small matrix, autofocus and exposure metering. There are many advantages, and the disadvantages are small and insignificant for photography through the viewfinder. It can be used in technical shooting: there is a grid in LiveView mode, you can shoot cartoons through a computer.

Pros

1) Comfortable grip, oddly enough. More convenient than the big grip machines. The main thing is that the thumb joint is on the exposure compensation button (to press it with this joint). At the same time, the little finger dangles just like that, but the weight allows it. 2) Light weight. 3) Convenient buttons. Everything is in place. 4) Touch screen. Allows you not to regret the lack of control buttons, as on large models. "Quick screen" shows everything you need. And if not enough - "my menu". 5) A clear bright viewfinder (with fast, not whale lenses) 6) Fast autofocus (with appropriate lens). Fast exposure metering. 7) Good auto white balance. 8) General functionality is not worse than that of "adults". 9) Long-lasting battery. Despite the stated, I rent one and a half thousand at a time. The main thing is not to use flash. My display is off by default. View the result in histogram mode. There is almost a black screen, consumes little. 10) Good quality video. 11) Good high ISO. 12) A small matrix - no defects are visible in the corners :)). 13) External flash control through the device menu. 14) Shooting through a computer. You can shoot animation. 15) Instant response to the shutter button after "falling asleep" on a timer.

Cons

1) Very slow LiveView. I use it only when I really need it, for example, on a tripod, when it is inconvenient to look through the viewfinder or when a coordinate grid is needed. 2) When shooting a video, autofocus prowls. 3) Frozen auto shooting modes. Not using. I mostly use "M" mode. Sometimes others are creative. In this case, I set the style to "Exact". Otherwise, the colors become completely incomprehensible. If anything, everything works fine on the computer. I shoot in RAW. 4) The absence of a program shift in the "M" mode as in the "P" mode. Although, there is no button for this. You have to make extra moves. You can get used to it. On millionth models, too. 5) The operation indicator lamp is closed with the right hand. Only visible on a tripod. 6) Unable to disable autofocus. It gives confirmation even with manual focusing. In part, this is good. But when it is necessary to accelerate as much as possible - it is bad. 7) Lack of coordinate grid in the viewfinder. 8) RAW is not written very quickly even on a fast-firing card. But you can shoot in the buffer, so the problem is small. Even when shooting dynamic scenes (for example, with horsemen vaulting), I never missed anything. 9) Continuous shooting is not very fast. But I never needed to go faster. For good, you need to have a choice of speed for different plots.
