This is my current flagship camera. And it is really great! It is a full frame camera with a 42 megapixel sensor…

Large and heavy, this lens has a tendency toward chromatic aberration. Still, I have gotten some great wildlife and butterfly shots. I took it to the Frejus zoo and got a few keepers. The lens also gave me some good bird, butterfly and damselfly photos.
Dxyum ratings: overall 4.42; sharpness 4.45

This was my first mirrorless camera. I was quite thrilled to try my hand with this new cutting edge technology. And it has served me very well. Thew menu is a bit tedious, typical of all of my Sony cameras. The mechanics are fine for the most part. The shutter tends to jam when I am in automatic mode (rarely anymore) after several years of use. A nagging thing is that the EV dial moves too easily, such as when removing the camera from a bag or groping for the aperture or shutter speed dials in semi darkness.
Sony blurb:
Higher resolution, sensitivity, and readout speed. As the world’s first 35mm full-frame image sensor with back-illuminated structure, this 42.4-megapixel CMOS sensor enhances light collection efficiency, expands circuitry scale, and, with the help of a quick-transmission copper wiring layer, outputs data about 3.5 times faster, while minimizing image noise to reveal fine details in every picture.
