Great For
🎬
Vlogging & Video Flip screen, subject tracking AF, and 4K make it a solid entry-level video camera.
✈️
Travel Lightweight body with no unnecessary bulk — easy to pack alongside a couple of lenses.
👨‍👩‍👧
Family & Everyday Subject tracking keeps the family in focus without effort.
👤
Portrait Good image quality and AF but the lack of an EVF limits control.
🏙️
Street Light and discreet. No physical dials but the interface is clean.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
Sports & Action No IBIS and limited burst depth at 4K make it unsuitable for serious action.
