Let me start this by saying most of this camera I can more than live with! It is fun, it produces really great videos. So it is a keeper for me.
Now the thing I dislike the most absolutely is the great screen! In the sun it is useless, couldn't see a single thing. I am going to have to buy or make a heath-Robinson one of my own hood as the last thing I want is another screen. I don't have such a pronounced issue on an iPhone 7S with a glass protector on it as well. So it is possible to make a screen like this visible in sunshine.
Glad I bought an external battery, the Canon size ones are ok, but I don't like charging batteries every day. I can however put up with that but not the screen issue above.
The button for taking image is not something I will use, but I tried it, it takes too long for the icon top right of screen to signal that a dng has been taken. So for me I just ignore it from now onwards.
It is a shame they stuck with Canon weak battery, but of course we now have something else to spend on the Sony L battery box..........
As I say above really happy with the camera apart from the screen in very bright not only sunshine conditions and before you ask I have the screen brightness at 100% yesterday in bright sunshine. The sun was infront of the camera and behind. But wait I could always go back to year dot and take a black cloth with me to put over my head, perhaps cheaper than a hood.
