Good product, not disappointed.

 the camera was bought for video shooting, the main requirement was a swivel screen and a frame rate of 60
Now I shoot mainly through an adapter (m42 - Nikon F) to Soviet fast lenses, because I trudge from this mainstream "bokeh", strangles” to spend money on expensive optics, and the fact that the crop makes my fixed tips, for example, from 55 mm to 80 mm, if you are not familiar with photography,

My photos can be viewed here:

In winter, one video project is planned, as an example of video filming, I will post it here.

Pros

-Decent picture at high ISO (6400 tolerant) -Good autofocus, pleased with the pictures with tracking AF -Rotary display (a very handy feature, I use it all the time) -Intuitive interface

Cons

-Since there is nothing to compare with, before that there was only superzoom, I can only say that the absence of a "focus motor" in the carcass is very annoying, that there are a lot of inexpensive good optics that can only be used in the manual, although this is no longer a problem for me ( see comments); -lack of tracking AF when shooting video; -when changing aperture settings, ISO, etc. , the camera does not show changes on the display screen, you have to turn liveview off and on to see the changes; -And the top display would be nice, but it's nitpicking.
