✅ Great For
🎬
Video 4K/60p 10-bit V-Log with dual native ISO and 6.5-stop IBIS — built for serious video work.
👤
Portrait Dual IBIS and beautiful rendering from the 24.2MP sensor. Works best in controlled shooting where AF limitations are minimised.
✈️
Travel Weather sealed and versatile. Heavier than ideal for ultralight travel but handles all conditions.
🏔️
Landscape IPX5 weather sealing handles outdoor conditions. 24.2MP delivers solid landscape resolution.
🌆
Street Excellent high-ISO performance and IBIS for handheld low-light street photography.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
🦅
Wildlife Contrast-detect AF can struggle to track fast-moving unpredictable subjects. Better suited to static wildlife.
