I bought this camera about 5 months back. I am not a expert photographer but i just like to click random pics of things which i like. There are lot of good things with this camera and the picture quality is also amazing. pros: - Mirrorless, which makes it Super compact - Super fast - Ultimate wide angle 18-50 lens - Inter-changeable lense - Very good for macro clicks - Tilt screen good for selfies - Different camera modes to take pictures in different environment cons: - Need to buy a zoom lens seperately (i bought 55-210 which is good) - Battery will give you maximum one day backup (sometimes less with heavy usage) - No view finder I think it is a good camera for beginners who just want to take nice pictures of the things they like.
We wanted good photos without wanting to carry a heavy camera around and spending a lot of time focusing, etc. This camera gives good pics by default, though you can enter manual mode and try your skills (it's a bit tricky). The rotatable screen for selfies is nice.
Its a good camera (if you overlook the build quality, which isn't the besT), but the value for money is simply not there. You can get a NEX5N, 5R, or even a 5T at the same price.
Low lighting image is very bad even the motioned pics gets blured but in day light its a good choice .
image quality is great (low light may not be that great ), camera volume is small enough and light in hands but wont come in pocket. all settings are in menu - very less dedicated buttons. shots in 1 full charge is lesser than DSLR, may be 300-400 without flash. E mount lens are less and costly. no hot shoe for external flash - will work for short distance photos in indoor. no external mic - inbuilt is stereo and works just fine. good for travelers, enthusiasts, beginner. lens is Thailand make.
