I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I have been using the camera for more than a month, in general, I am satisfied. The only thing is that I would either replace the screen with an old design, or remove the headphone plug somewhere. In general, the ideal solution would be to connect wireless ears.

The picture is not like from blackmagics, it's still the same Sonya as the previous ones, but more convenient. In direct and professional hands, bm will not yield, of course. But if you look at the work on YouTube, the difference is obvious)
As for me, syllable 3 in 10bit looks the same as 8bit files in simpler profiles, it's just that the gradients are finally even, without banding. That is, log3 has finally become a worker and you can use the maximum possible dd.

Pros

Probably the best camera for video shooting, which will be relevant for another 5 years. 4k at 100fps, 10 bit 4.2.2 in any shooting mode, choice of codecs and compression. Ability to write to an external recorder even raw. The feeling that Sony took into account all the wishes of users and decided to finally fix the shortcomings of past generations. The menu has become much more convenient and understandable. Excellent autofocus. Improved stabilization. full size hdmi.

Cons

For me, the main drawback is the location of the headphone output, because it interferes with the swivel screen. At this point, either remove the headphone output to the second row, where there is a full-sized hdmi, or leave the old screen design, I really liked it (it was because of it that I didn’t want a swivel, I understood that there would be such a problem with outputs on the left side of the camera). 12mp is normal for video, not enough for photos in 2022, only for home archives and social networks. In general, it suits, but I would like about 24mp. Active stabilization is good, but it seemed to me that it was more suitable for static frames. With a sharp movement, it can tupanut and pull the picture. It can also be used with a stub, especially on a longer focal length it will do, well, with smoother movements. Crop 1.1 does not bother, although a small drawback too. You need to know the native ISO for each profile in order not to get into a noisy picture. For example, in the log it is better to shoot up to 3200 iso, and then immediately jump to the second native - 12800. Although I usually try to switch after 1600. This applies not only to logs, but also to other modes. Each has its own native ISO values. You can find out about them by googling.
