The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

When choosing a device, I settled on two models: Nikon Z6 and our A7m3. Based on the reviews, I came to the conclusion that Sony is preferable, since this company already existed before, there was an external flash, and there is an official store in the city.
Notice how few reviews there are for this camera. This is because he is positioned as a professional mid-ranger. And the specialists already sit on the Sony forums and write reviews there and they are quite good.
May I recommend a camera? Yes, but you just need to clearly understand why you need a full frame, and not a crop, 4-5 times cheaper.

Pros

1. Full frame and a small 24 megapixel matrix, hence a large dynamic range and an exorbitant ISO level. 2. Working ISO without processing (subjectively) - 3200. With processing in LR, photos with iso more than 10000 look normal. 3. 3 years warranty. 4. You can charge the camera from a regular phone charger. The battery is very large and it lasts for all conceivable situations for a day (not video). 5. This is a whale, it is not huge, moderately tight and it is not a pity if it falls. For a whale will do. If you only think about the carcass - see the cost of lenses (30 - 100 tr). 6. All mirrorless features: auto focus, eye auto focus, focus by poking into the touch screen. 7. Folding screen, though only down. 8. This is a mirrorless camera and it has 600 or so focal points. Wherever you poke on the screen, even in the farthest corner, it will focus there. 9. Dimensions are not like those of mammoths - SLRs. Such a device is the most suitable for traveling and events, no bags are needed, hung it on your shoulder and go. 10. There is silent shooting (but no flash) for places where shutter noise is inappropriate. 11. Can be controlled from a smartphone. I set it and, sitting among everyone, I see on the smartphone what is in the frame and press the shutter button on the smart. You can transfer photos to a smartphone without additional wires and devices. Easy to connect via NFC. 12. The ability to set almost all buttons and wheels to their own functions. 13. Two slots for memory cards. Shooting security, the amount of footage. (The Z6 has one slot and this is a clear advantage for Sony). 14. Very detailed menu, you can even create your own menu. But in order to understand the menu and the device as a whole, you need to download the manual from the Sony website. You can not intuitively understand a complex technique, this is not a soap dish. The "descent" button can be pressed without instructions. 15. There are interval shooting, adjustable interval and number of photos. 16. TTL. When the flash is up, there is an electronic flash compensation. I put it on the joystick, it is very convenient to immediately correct it according to the histogram.

Cons

Only flaw 1 influences the purchase decision, the rest are just flaws. 1. Price. Expensive for an amateur. Camera + fast V90 level card + external flash = about 200 thousand. It is not the fault of the camera that the dollar is such and the country is poor, but few amateurs can buy such a device. 2. There is no built-in flash, you need to buy more. And hang and charge. It is not always comfortable for an amateur. We must remember this, this is the price for quality. 3. There is no possibility in intelligent mode to limit the maximum ISO. You have to switch to P mode. When you let someone take a picture of yourself, the ability to poke buttons in P mode is evil. 4. Personally, for me, left-handed, the exposure compensation wheel is uncomfortable, tight, uncomfortable and unnecessary (up to -3 in total, and electronically up to -5). 5. It is difficult to move the screen away from the body, there is nothing to catch on. 6. Not enough for a pure travel lens; 28-105 would be ideal. 7. You can not put the "delete" function in "my menu" to delete a folder with old photos. 8. If you are wearing sunglasses, then the screen is completely invisible, it is completely black (some kind of polarizing effect). When traveling, taking off and putting on glasses is an inconvenience. 9. There was no hole for the cord on the lens cover to tie it to the photo camera, so as not to lose it or put it in your pocket. Solved by buying a lid with a hole.
