- Worth Every Penny!Verified BuyerReviewed by Nate - December 19, 2021
This camera is amazing. No complaints and the great part about buying it from Best Buy was all the price fixes I’ve been able to get since it has dropped. Got it in September, upgraded from the a6600 and what an upgrade it is. If you love the Sony family, you’ll enjoy this even more! Sony makes a solid camera with this. I mainly use it for photography. Here’s some of the shots I took on it.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Went mirrorlessVerified BuyerReviewed by Oakbluffsmv - October 30, 2021
So far, this is a GREAT CAMERA. I have much to learn but , being a long term Sony camera user, I am finding it relatively easy. It is just so much lighter to carry and the A mount to E mount converter is letting me use my array of lenses. I am very happy that I purchased this camera and recommend it for professional work. The 42 megapixel sensor is great.
