Key Advantages

The absence of an optical low-pass filter results in sharper and more detailed images compared to many competitors.

Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS features enhance connectivity and geolocation without the need for extra devices.

The articulated touchscreen LCD facilitates flexible composition and easier interaction with camera controls.

The 39-point autofocus system is versatile and considerably accurate for both stills and video capture.

The camera supports Full HD 1080p video recording at various frame rates, catering to videographers' needs.

Battery life is efficient, enabling shooting of approximately 600 shots per charge, suitable for extended use.

Limitations

Lack of an external microphone input limits advanced audio recording options for videographers.

The camera does not include in-body image stabilization, relying on lens stabilization for reducing camera shake.

While Wi-Fi is integrated, the interface can be somewhat limited compared to modern smartphone integration capabilities.

No touchscreen focus point selection in live view limits some flexibility for focus control.

The electronic viewfinder resolution is moderate, with 640x480 pixels, lower than high-end models.

Continuous shooting speed up to 5 frames per second is moderate but may not suffice for fast action photography.
