✅ Great For
🎬
Vlogging & Video 4K/120p and S-Cinetone in a compact body — the ideal solo video creator camera.
🎥
Documentary Cinema Line colour science and XLR audio deliver professional documentary results.
💍
Wedding & Events Reliable AF, great low light, and versatile video specs handle any wedding scenario.
⚡
Sports & Action 4K/120p captures slow-motion action. Photo burst is capable but not the primary strength.
👤
Portrait Excellent for video portraits. Still photography is capable but secondary to video.
✈️
Travel Compact and weather-sealed. Best value when video is a priority alongside travel stills.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
