Just had time to charge up the battery last night and then with that charged, I did a quick customization of the buttons to match what I'm used to with my A7RII.
Initial Observations w/o Having Taken A Single Image:
- Sony charged the battery from 2% to full within 2 hours. Not bad at all.
- Really like the new menu organization - Sony seemed to have listened
- Feels much more responsive in all aspects
- EVF looks great
- I thought I'd have issues with the new button layout, but I quickly adapted
- Slightly bigger/deeper grip feels good
- EVF deactivation with the screen flipped out is fantastic little enhancement. This drove me nuts at times with the A7R and A7RII
- C3 button on the left hand side - great!!
What I don't like:
- Card slot door feels flimsy and looks like I may accidentally open it sometime in the future. My A7RII SD card slot door feels more substantial and won't ever accidentally open
- EC dial still too easy to accidentally move
I'll get it out today for a quick shoot.
