The quality is so-so, the price does not match the quality.

In general, conflicting impressions of the camera.
The picture in the video gives a good one, but the autofocus really spoils everything. Because of this, the camera is not suitable for everyone, it’s quite possible to shoot a blogger’s face from a tripod with good light. I took it for other tasks and was disappointed. I advise you to look at other cameras for this money. Maybe without a matrix stub, but with adequate AF.
The review is subjective, from a person who expected to get better work from a camera for $ 1000 .

Pros

Convenient control, functional buttons where necessary, and the grip is good. Light weight. Relatively inexpensive lenses. A good picture both when shooting video in 4k in certain scenes, and when taking photos with good lighting. Quite good shots can be obtained in poor hand-held lighting (with a 1.7 Lumix lens), on a whale one you can get a good picture in daylight, but nothing more than natural. That's where the positives end.

Cons

1. Autofocus, it is disgusting, I read a lot of real reviews where they complained about it, but I did not expect everything to be so bad. In reviews on the Internet, this moment is not particularly discussed at all. I filmed and photographed on a whale 12-60mm and 1.7 25mm. There are always problems with this, except that in bright street lighting there are fewer misses. 2. Dual stabilization, but it works well in video with a whale lens, but I expected a better result, the latest top-end smartphones provide stabilization no worse when moving. In general, if you need smoothness in the video, you need a stub. 3. The camera really needs light, there was no miracle, given the size of the matrix.
