High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

The purchase of this camera can be due to 3 reasons:

1) You need the smallest mirrorless (including lens). If the size of the camera does not bother you, then there are better deals on the market.

2) You are not looking for a complete replacement for a SLR camera. You want to buy simply the best soap dish on the market, which in many (but by no means all) cases will be worse than a DSLR.
When buying this camera, you need to understand that it will in no way replace a professional SLR camera. It does not have pixel-by-pixel sharpness and beautiful bokeh, which mirrorers love so much.

3) You often shoot video with a camera, but a good video camera does not suit you, because it does not allow you to get high-quality photographs. All the same, do not say, but the video in this camera is implemented at 5+. Better than any soap dish in terms of quality. And better than any DSLR for convenience. One of the best cameras on the market from this point of view.

I am very pleased with the purchase of this camera, because. I really wanted to find a very functional and high-quality, but at the same time the most miniature camera. This camera fully met all my expectations.

 Before buying, be sure to try to work with the camera in the store, turn it in your hands. Maybe he will not suit you with ergonomics.

Pros

1) The smallest mirrorless camera on the market today. 2) Very fast autofocus (it focuses instantly, which is very different from soap dishes). In general, the camera is very fast and does not slow down anywhere. 3) Extensive video features. Very good quality and lots of interesting extras. options. The 1200 fps slow motion is quite interesting. In terms of video shooting, the camera is probably the best on the market (both among compacts and DSLRs), in terms of amateur video use. 4) Rich functionality. The camera supports many different modes, ranging from automatic to full manual with control over all shooting settings. 5) Large depth of field, thanks to a small matrix. The percentage of successful shots is much higher than on a DSLR, because it is easier to get into focus on the subject. This point is especially true for beginners who have never shot on cameras with a large matrix.

Cons

1) Ergonomics. Like it or not, the camera is not very comfortable to hold in your hand. The lens has some kind of duplication and not a convenient latch. The camera clearly sacrificed convenience for its size. 2) Convenience. The choice of all settings and shooting modes is carried out only through the menu. In fact, to change any setting or mode, you always need to climb into the menu. Not convenient or efficient. It was possible to make more modes on the wheel. And so it turns out that both the full automatic and the fully manual mode are in the same position of the mode selection wheel and switching between them is only through the menu. 3) Photo quality. The camera, of course, has gone far from soap dishes and is better than any of them, but it is still far from a DSLR. Such an artistic photo as from a DSLR from this camera cannot be obtained due to the lack of artistic lenses for it and a small matrix.
