Excellent photo quality, and just a mediocre video

It's great camera because it is on sale now. You can get it as low as 230$ from Japan with free shipping! Shoots RAW, has manual controls, has excellent picture quality, decent AUTO mode for beginners, very quick in everything it does (shoots RAW + JPEG).

Cons

I've gotten two little dirt samples very quickly. I own it for about 2 months. I hope they are the last, it doesen't affect the picture quality.

Mediocre video I think. It's somewhat unstable. See my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE8di639dWk

That's the best I could do! Maybe it's my model, or something. With tripod it gets to be pretty solid. And it's locket to 30fps, so there's that.
