Constant smartphone connectivity, snappy AF performance, excellent image quality and dynamic range, great in low light environments, comfortable ergonomics, strong battery life
4K video is tightly cropped, AF video performance lags competition, fairly bulky, PRICE: $2,000

Higher price than MLICs with comparable specs, Zoom in and zoom out buttons, Live view must be turned on in video or photo mode
