Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought this camera about a year ago as a gateway into photography. I was hesitant at first because I know how expensive good cameras can be and this one was at the lower end of the price spectrum, but, after seeing what it can do, I'm so extremely happy with this purchase. At 24 megapixels this thing is a beast. I don't use auto-focus lenses for this because vintage manual focus lenses are much more affordable, and quite frankly its a bit more fun that just pushing down the shutter button and letting the camera do all the work. Vintage lenses are a breeze to adapt to this guy. Literally just a metal collar that changes from one mount to another. There are adapters for more modern lenses but their generally a lot more expensive and you don't get the same auto-focus speed as a native e-mount lens. Don't be afraid of the manual settings mode. It will certainly broaden your horizons as far as what more you can do in photography. Bottom line, If you are looking to get into photography without shelling out 3-4 grand on a high-end DSLR, this is your way to go. I;m sure this would hold over even the most seasoned photographer. If you are looking to get into Cinematography however, maybe this isn't this best choice for you in the long run. Maybe look in to spending a little more on an a6300 as that model will shoot in 4k60fps, 1080p120fps for slow-mo.
