I bought this camera in the hope of replacing an outdated video camera, but as the first test video showed, the old camera will still serve. The camera reported overheating after about 25 minutes, and then turned off after another 15 minutes and refused to turn on until it cooled down. Skipping a lecture at which I decided to check the duration of the video mode was about 20 minutes, which is quite a lot. There are no complaints about the quality of the photo for this camera. Complaints about the 16-50 lens, photos are blurred in autofocus, you can adjust the sharpness on the object being shot with manual focus, but you have to tinker.
