Overview
A lens mount that accepts Sony E lenses is fitted to the front of this compact body, which uses hybrid autofocus that combines contrast and phase detection. The screen tilts for selfies and low angles, and an electronic viewfinder is built in.
Travel and family photographers get quick focus tracking and a flip-up screen in a body that is easy to carry. The limitation is the kit lens, which is a modest zoom with a narrow maximum aperture and a short range.
Who it's for
A vlogger or an enthusiast stepping up from a phone gets a flip screen for self-shooting and the ability to change lenses. Professionals who need two card slots should look at a larger body.
Pros and cons
- Hybrid autofocus with eye tracking
- Touchscreen tilts for self-shooting
- 4K video recording
- Interchangeable Sony E lenses
- Kit lens has a narrow aperture
- Single memory card slot
- Battery life not listed
- Viewfinder is an LCD type
Performance notes
Hybrid autofocus uses phase detection to jump to the subject and contrast detection to refine it, which is what makes eye tracking quick on moving people. The APS-C sensor gives better low-light results than a phone sensor, though the kit lens aperture limits what it can gather. The optical stabilization in the lens steadies handheld shots and video.
