I am really gentle with my gear and it quit after 1 year. It gave me a prompt that it would not recognize the lens. I returned it and Sony did not honor the warrantee because ” the camera was worth less than the fix” and they wrote that in fine print. I have a ton of Sony gear and have sworn to never buy Sony anything again.

I don’t shoot sports though…  or birds in flight… so I’m not a total reviewer, but for everything I need it to do, it’s stellar.

Otherwise, mirrorless cameras have been gaining solid grownd lately.

Here are some of my favorite stills I shot mirrorless, and my most recent Halloween video:  http://youtu.be/2AKk9etnpPY
