First impressions? The camera did everything you'd expect from a high-end mirrorless camera – it's fast, responsive, and solid in the hand. Autofocus was snappy, image quality sharp. But none of that really surprised me. What stood out wasn’t the performance, but the small touches that made the process feel unusually smooth.
