Average quality, not an outstanding product.

When compared with a compact camera, its advantage is only in changing the lens and the possibility of using lenses (which for me loses its meaning if composition cannot be adjusted), when compared with a SLR camera, its advantage is in smaller size and weight (meaning again lost for the same reason) . Disappointed. If I wanted to take pictures in automatic mode, I would buy a compact camera - both cheaper and smaller.

Pros

Smaller and lighter than a DSLR, with manual composition adjustment. Stylish appearance. Removable lenses. Another reason for choosing this model is a shutter speed of more than 30 seconds (on my SLR camera it was not enough to photograph the night sky).

Cons

It turned out that manually adjusting the composition is not entirely true: when you change the shutter speed, the aperture automatically changes and vice versa. In addition, the camera has a huge number of settings, while it is not clear how they are interconnected: when you turn on / off some, others automatically stop working without warning (it just gets dark in the menu without the ability to select and change). I've been using it for a few years, but I still haven't figured it out.
