We can connect our laptop to the camera but the software installed on the PC doesn't allow wifi tethering, only USB...why? Software are ancient. Need to hire a product manager.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I WANTED TO LOVE IT...

The positive first: Images are crystal clear with quite pricey 55mm f1.8 lens; image quality amazing; 24-105mm f4.0 nice enough; low light capability is super. "My Menu" and Quick Access feature nice. The not so positive: 1) tilt screen - too stiff and not quite adjustable enough – why not a fully articulating screen Sony?; built-in flash and battery charger included would have been nice; 2) 24-105mm is not ergonomically compatible with the camera at all. The lens is quite heavy for the camera, so not balanced and with poor grip design shooting created spasms in my thumbs. After shooting a dancer on stage for about two hours had to wear a brace on my right hand for two days after. Forgot my monopod and paid the price. However, shots taken without flash were much sharper compared to my friend's Canon. The following week, I was outside shooting kids flying kites for two hours. Now both my thumbs ached for four days. What a drag. 3) I'm not a professional photographer and not young so I don’t carry two cameras or a lot of lenses. I would have been much more amenable to keeping the camera if Sony offered a longer zoom - 24-135 or 140mm F2.8 as I take so many types of photos - even in the course of a few hours on a Sunday (family group, candid kid shots, peacocks, landscape, indoor chanting meditation, food, etc); 4) while taking video, this lens sticks when zooming slowly in and out so there is no smooth transition - unacceptable; 5) touch pad & joy stick focus unpredictable and unreliable - drove me crazy. 6) After doing so much research and finally choosing the camera I wanted, the menu was a huge learning curve even though I own an older Sony, so I took a two-hour private class with someone already experienced on this model which helped quite a bit. I really wanted this Sony, was willing to overlook a few things, but in the end, after 2-1/2 months, the relationship with this camera didn’t gel - the clincher was hurting my hands. Yes, I could have tried a grip but had already made a substantial investment in time, accessories, money. I needed more than a great image out of the box. I wanted to enjoy it, become one with it, like I have with my other Sony camera, but in the end, decided to call it quits and sent it back. I will have some beautiful shots and nostalgia (memories with the pain removed). I’m truly disappointed and sorry to say good-bye. I returned the camera.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A mount DSLR

I am really curious if Sony has dropped the ball on pursuing to come up with a new A mount DSLR camera. I am very frustrated as a Sony user. I love sony and I love how Sony is the leader on digital photo/videography. I am looking to upgrade my camera but it seems like Sony's only effort is on mirrorless cameras. As the technology improving so fast I think it shouldn't be that difficult for Sony to build an A mount camera as the same features as e mount cameras. SONY! Build a new A mount DSLR!

Great camera, lack of lenses

While this is clearly an outstanding camera in most respects, the lack of a fully articulated screen and viable lenses holds it back. Too many people are looking at 3rd party converters to enable the use of canon ef lenses.
The lack of a supplied battery charger, coupled with the ridiculous price of the sony charger and sony battery is ridiculous considering the price of the camera, this is also applicable to the below average camera strap.

My Review

I really love this camera. The price, design, and features are great. There is one thing I did not like about it which was the video recording limitation it has. I wish it did not have this enabled. Besides that it is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cant set the camera down!

Coming from Nikon, I was hesitant about going Mirrorless. Simply put, Im so glad that I did! This is one mazing piece of technology at the price you are paying. So Light, comfortable in the hand, AF is insanely fast and 99% always on point. Not to mention that eye AF is a game changer for portraiture! All around I cannot say enough great things about this body. Well done Sony!
