It's good, still needs some improvements

Obviously this is a great camera, and we purchased this for a couple reasons. Here are my Pros and Cons after messing with the camera for a week.
Pros
1. More compact than my Canon 5d Markii
2. Video quality is amazing (resolution/auto focus)
3. Wifi capabilities to transfer images straight to web, Ironic because with such a high quality camera all i've done so far is upload images to Facebook and instagram...
4. Quick and quiet shutter
5. In-camera filters
6. exposure compensation easily adjustable
7. zeiss lenses <3
Cons:
1. Battery. Be ready to purchase a couple of these because they drain very fast. Im assuming its because it uses both screens along with lots of other features.
2. I've tried to use the camera without the back screen on but you have to look through the view finder to go through menus which is not easy. Not sure why Sony didn't add a feature where you can just view the menu on the back screen and use the view finder as just a view finder.
3. metabones adapter for canon lenses is disappointing. I understand that communication between 2 different models can cause confusion and is limited, but it shouldn't effect sharpness. Im really disappointed that my 70-200 ii isn't as sharp as it is on the canon. Oh well, just means i need to save for more Sony lenses.
4. While I'm ranting about lenses, Sony doesn't offer a Zeiss Lens that is larger than 70mm
5. Was having difficulty recognizing raw file on photoshop CS6, but works with CC. So that means more purchases in order to edit raws.
Overall, this camera was a great purchase for our family. Seems to be great for what we use it for. This camera delivers on the fact that it is convenient. As all cameras have their strengths and weaknesses I always say go with the one that feel best in your hands.
My Best Buy number: 7001062215
I would recommend this to a friend!
