78 out of 100 high confidence 170 reviews

However, several reviewers report overheating issues during extended use, particularly in warm conditions, and some express disappointment with high ISO noise and occasional freezing or autofocus failures.

  • Excellent for sports and wildlife photography
  • Pre-capture feature for action shots
  • Eye-tracking autofocus works well
