I long awaited update to KM a7. A good camera coupled with the 16-50 f2.8 lens in the right lighting conditions. High ISO performance is poor at best and anything above ISO800 is not usable.
Pros:
- Good picture quality in good light
Cons:
- Poor high ISO performance

That said, when weighing these up against a superb level of image quality when shooting in most conditions, great handling, good build quality, industry-leading EVF, quick full-time phase detection AF system and a comprehensive set of exposure modes, we have little trouble with recommending this

Sony Alpha 77
The flash started to flash 3-4 times before taking picture, it wasn't that way before. The 55-300mm doesn't focus great on its own. The 16-55mm lens is too big. Overall good features but the price is way too high.
Pros:
- Features
Cons:
- Heavy
- the flash
- the 55-300 lens
