THE BEST
Its value for money is the first thing I can highlight about this camera Another very positive point is the fact that it eliminates the low pass filter thus allowing to obtain sharper images. We cannot lose sight of its rapidity of focus, the possibility of not making noise, the quality of video recording, the possibility of recording in 4k at 30 frames per second and extracting the one you want at 8 MP. Also highlight the amount of benefits it offers and its great post focus, that function that allows you to select the focus point later.WORST
With this camera you will have no choice but to read the instruction manual. Bring an endless list of functions and the Tras-Ton method will not work as with other cameras because its interface does not seem to be the most intuitive. Another drawback is that the battery does not last long.GALLERY

As you will see, it is a large camera in a relatively small and light body. With many features and a video quality that stands out for its stabilizer and the possibility of selecting almost imperceptible moments in sight and save them in a size of 8 MP. With a comfortable ergonomics thanks to its touch and its renewed grip, we have little to say about this camera so you can remove it from your list.
