Review Excerpt

Excellent image quality, especially from RAWs; Fantastic high ISO performance; Fast autofocus with great tracking performance; 14fps burst rate; Amazing buffer capacity; 4K 60p video; Robust build quality.
Very heavy, bulky and expensive; Dual memory card slots use different formats; 29:59 continuous video recording limit; Touchscreen feels underutilized.

Outstanding image quality; Fast hybrid AF with phase-detect; 5fps bursts at full resolution; In-body image stabilization; Improved EVF; Weather sealing; 4K UHD & Cinema 4K at up to 30fps.
Big and bulky; Shallow buffer depth with RAW files; Vertical grip not as comfortable; Native lens selection still limited.
