Key Advantages
The translucent mirror design allows for uninterrupted autofocus in video and rapid continuous shooting. The 16.1MP APS-C sensor delivers high-resolution, detailed images with excellent low-light performance. Full HD video recording with manual control provides flexibility for videographers. The electronic viewfinder offers clear, real-time previews with exposure and focus indicators. Compatibility with a broad range of Sony A-mount lenses ensures extensive creative potential. Compact and lightweight body design makes it convenient for travel and everyday shooting.
Limitations
The battery life is relatively limited compared to some DSLR models, necessitating extra batteries for prolonged use. The fixed LCD screen does not offer swivel or touchscreen capabilities, limiting shooting angle versatility. Autofocus in certain low-contrast scenes may be slower than some competing models. The absence of built-in Wi-Fi limits instant connectivity and sharing features. Video recording frame rates are capped at 60fps in 720p, which may constrain slow-motion capabilities. The camera may show some lag in menu navigation compared to modern digital cameras.
