Key Advantages

Compact and lightweight design ideal for on-the-go creators. Advanced autofocus with Real-time Eye AF and Tracking for sharp subject capture. High-quality 4K video recording with enhanced image processing. Vari-angle touchscreen enables versatile shooting angles and user-friendly operation. Built-in directional microphone with windscreen for clear audio recording. Fast USB-C charging and extended battery life support prolonged usage.

Limitations

Limited zoom range with 24-70mm equivalent lens may not suit all shooting scenarios. No internal ND filter which can impact shooting in very bright conditions. Lacks headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring. Battery life is moderate and can be limiting for extended shooting without spare batteries. Absence of weather sealing makes it less durable under harsh conditions. The rear touchscreen can be less responsive under certain lighting environments.
