No complaints, I recommend to buy.

I never had my camera, I used someone else&#39;s Sony NEX-F3. It really lacked control wheels, and most importantly, a viewfinder. The camera was needed for traveling, and on a motorcycle, so one of the most important factors was the size (including m4/3 optics). The purchase decision was influenced by a one-day test drive. The quality of the photos suited me, and the camera was just nice to hold in my hands, I wanted to use it. In combination with a 14-150 lens, it becomes a universal tool for hunting landscapes and animals (even insects). Throw in a 25mm prime here and you&#39;re armed with everything you need.

PS For those with blurry/twitchy/crooked video or something like that, turn off the digital stabilization and life will get better. Yes, not Panasonic, but still ...

Pros

In my opinion, this is the most stylish camera for 2022. Perhaps the PEN series will seem even more stylish to someone, but they go completely retro. An excellent EVI, which I use even for viewing photos - I do not always use a folding screen (which, by the way, is a touchscreen). Many even ask why I take off my legs. Due to its small size, I don't need a suitcase, so I can put it away almost anywhere. Extremely pleasant to the touch fotik - it was because of this that he took the five, and not the ten. An excellent stabilizer that greatly simplifies handheld shooting. The Live Composite mode is a great feature. Shooting lightning with him is a pleasure. Together with native lenses - very fast autofocus. Nice shutter sound, there is also a quiet mode with which it is convenient to shoot time-lapse (4k, by the way). Comes with an external directional flash. There is Wi-Fi, so you don't need an external remote control.

Cons

The main drawback is the inability to charge the camera via USB. Because of this, you have to carry branded chargers with you. When traveling, this is a big minus - you have to look for 220 V in campsites, and as a rule there are sockets in toilets or office buildings, but you really want to charge your camera from an external battery. The camera menu is confusing and requires the user to carefully study not only the manual, but also the Internet, which deciphers the manual. Native PC software is low-functional and slow. Could be cheaper. You have to pay for a comfortable grip - buy a separate handle. For me, the ISO bar is 3200. Ideally, borderline 2022, but noise is better than blur.
