I really liked the focus during video recording, not a single "reflex camera" could do that with me. I am not a professional, and not my first camera, but it is the best among SLR cameras that I know. The most compact and comfortable in the hand, fits in a bag (this is important for me, because I'm always traveling) I don't bother with the settings, because even on a car you get cool photos. There are practically no blurry pictures, because I use the 4D focus mode, this gives instant focus throughout the frame, which most of all influenced my choice. Of the minuses, as I wrote above, this is a touch screen. A similar 5100 model has touch autofocus, but unfortunately it is not here, but this is not such a significant minus, so I am very pleased with my choice. If you want to buy a DSLR because of quality - take your time, this is already the last century, such a system camera is in no way inferior to them, and even better than many in quality.
