Many users upgrading from older DSLRs or mirrorless models report a significant leap in speed and image quality, especially for wildlife and action photography. However, a recurring complaint is the overly complex menu system and steep learning curve, which some find frustrating. Overall, it is considered a top-tier hybrid camera that delivers professional results, though the price and power consumption are noted drawbacks.
