Great camera, perfect for both beginning photographers and experienced photographers alike. Unqualified endorsement! Has some pros 1. It is extremely portable, as it can be carried in a pocket or a handbag; there is no requirement to carry a large and cumbersome bag like one would for a DSLR. In addition, there is a native Sony LCS-EJA leather case that is available for purchase in the event that you still like to protect it with a case. 2. Easy! Almost one and a half times lighter than comparable models such as the Nikon D5300. Excellent camera for traveling because it does not require you to strain your neck to look through the viewfinder. 3. The design of the camera makes it easy to hold in one hand and prevents it from slipping, in contrast to other models such as the Fuji XT10 or the Canon EOS M3 (I brought mirrorless cameras with a similar size matrix and a similar price for comparison) 4. The lens is detachable and can be replaced. This is a significant advantage, particularly for those individuals who have a stronger enthusiasm for photography. Yet even for a novice, there is possibility for advancement. Once you have mastered the camera, try using a lens other than your native 16-50, such as a portrait lens with an aperture of 50 f/1.8 or a wide-angle lens with an aperture of 10-18 f/4, and you will discover new ways to take pictures! 5. The autofocus follows the subject very well. Taking a picture of a friend skiing or a dog racing towards you won't be difficult at all. You will be successful if you shoot in continuous mode (by the way, 11 frames per second; very few people are able to shoot at that rate), and if you use the AF-C mode. Instead of being concentrated in the middle of the frame as they are on many DSLRs, the 179 autofocus points on this camera are spread out across the whole frame, ensuring that the subject will always be sharply focused. 6. The flash can be turned off! That is, you can point it upwards so that it does not blind the subject of the shot and does not illuminate the frame. 7. If you want to focus manually, you can use a feature called focus peaking, which highlights on the screen with colored lines the areas of the image that are in the sharpness zone. This is a very helpful feature. 8. The video quality is very respectable; it is comparable to that of a high-end and expensive video camera. Having this drawback: 1. The screen could also be made touch-sensitive, similar to the newer model Sony A5100; however, unlike the A5100, it is not capable of turning through an angle of 180 degrees. 2. The wireless control does not work properly; in reality, it is just the shutter button, and it can only take pictures in jpeg format. 3. Too much noise reduction in jpeg; it is best to avoid shooting at high ISO values; alternatively, shoot in RAW; however, this option is only appropriate for users with extensive prior experience. If you apply the algorithm that reduces noise across multiple frames as an alternative, the end result will be significantly improved.
