Best for Video

Verified Purchase:Yes

Having been a Canon shooter for 10 years it was a hard choice but Sony did just enough to make me switch (and Canon hasn't been too impressive lately anyways). That being said, this camera is a FANTASTIC VIDEO camera and a mediocre Photo camera. The S-log footage that was passed on to me in post processing/editing is what made me have to have this camera. It is amazing to be able to edit with. The dynamic range captured with this camera hold up fantastically in post. Add in 120fps and I was in. The bad news is that the auto focusing hunts when it is not in full sunny perfect conditions. The adapter for my Canon lenses is ok, but if you want to shoot seriously with this you better be ready to switch to all Sony Lenses (which are not bad at all). Just don't expect your 3rd party glass to hang with this adapter. I usually manual focus everything anyways since I'm doing mostly video and when I do do photos its usually not with a moving model. I'd say if nailing the photo shot is what you are looking for this is not the camera for you. If you want an AMAZING video camera with internal 4k that is a fraction of the cost and the size of the other "big boy" cameras that offer this, then this camera is definitely for you.
