From the community
QIs it still worth buying?
Yes — it remains the most balanced hybrid full-frame at this price. Newer bodies beat it on burst speed, but few match its all-round versatility.
QCan it livestream as a webcam?
Yes — it works as a UVC/UAC webcam over USB-C at up to 4K 15p / FHD 60p with no capture card.
Frequently asked
Is the 4K 60p cropped?
Yes — 4K 60p uses a 1.5x Super35 crop. Full-frame oversampled 4K tops out at 30p with excellent detail.
Is it good for beginners?
It is very capable but the deep menus take time to learn. The autofocus, however, makes getting sharp shots easy from day one.
Does it have in-body stabilization?
Yes — 5-axis IBIS rated around 5.5 stops, effective for handheld stills and run-and-gun video.
