The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

First of all, you need to understand for whom this camera is created. Nikon offers much more suitable options for photographers for the same money. The same model is much more interesting to filmmakers and cameramen, perhaps even bloggers. For an adequate price, we get 4K with a decent bitrate of about 120-125 Mb / s at 25 frames per second in neutral and flat color profiles. It should also be noted that in Full HD the speed is up to 120 frames per second, and, also without additional crop, as in 4K, and high-speed recording does not make noise more than usual and does not “spoil” the image. I definitely recommend it to the guys who are engaged in video shooting, there are a lot of body kits and rigs from SmallRig for it, I will soon get a cage for it and generally live)

Pros

Impressive power for such a compact device, good ergonomics, high "rate of fire", it will come in handy for photographers. Crazy sharpness in both photos and videos, especially in 4K, 4K writes without additional crop, which is especially important. Pleasant and accurate colors without processing, the color depth itself is 14 bits for photos, good built-in color profiles, Flat, which mows under Z-log

Cons

Weak battery, but all mirrorless cameras suffer from this, because they constantly work through Live View, the lack of matrix stabilization, and the built-in electronic only spoils the image. No Z-log, but does it make sense with such a bitrate?
