I have been using the camera for less than a month, but considering that I have been doing photography for more than 30 years, and I use professional full-frame equipment (the wife’s RX100-2 camera), I understand what I am writing and an hour is enough for me to evaluate this or that photographic equipment. In general, there are very positive impressions about the camera, the wife needed a camera for her purse, so that it would not interfere - it copes with this task . I needed the pictures to be of high quality - and it copes with this task. Of course, we shoot only in RAW format, I will not write about JPG - this is not a format. As I wrote above, autofocus works very poorly in poor lighting, the problem is due to poor backlight It is quite convenient to work in manual mode - the aperture is set to the wheel around the lens, shutter speed to the multifunctional wheel, access to the necessary functions through the FN button, plus additional frequently used functions can be programmed to additional buttons. The flash is extremely weak, what they write is a plus - that it can be bent up - to put it mildly, about nothing . it is weak in the forehead, where else to bend it? :) In general, I had to buy an external flash Sony F20M. The built-in one is good for shooting from a short distance up to 3m and for highlighting shadows when shooting in sunny weather. One more thing - after processing the photo, I recommend compressing it to about 12 MP - then you will get virtually perfect quality! Can I recommend it? If advanced amateurs who know Photoshop and Camera RAV, then of course yes . for people who only poke the shutter button, it makes no sense to take cameras that cost more than 10-12 thousand. rub. Trust me, you won't find much difference in quality.
