✅ Great For
🦅
Wildlife 8.6 Strong on autofocus, burst speed and its 24–600mm zoom. A 25x zoom reaching 600mm-equivalent covers real telephoto reach that would cost thousands in interchangeable glass.
⚡
Sports & Action 8.5 Strong on burst speed, autofocus and viewfinder.
🎥
Documentary 7.3 Strong on autofocus, video capability and weather sealing.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
📷
Casual 3.6 Held back by portability and ease of use.
🔬
Macro 3.6 Held back by its 24–600mm zoom and in-camera focus stacking. Close-focus exists but this isn't a macro-specialist lens or body.
🌆
Street 4.7 Held back by portability and its 24–600mm zoom. Over 1.1kg and a huge lens barrel make this the opposite of discreet.
📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
