The camera has for me that is a few things that are very interesting and I still miss something.
+ Good EVF
+ The live image has Sony much better control than Canon. Faster AF and improved continuous shooting etc
+ Of the haptics for me better than the 700d
+ Some keys can be redefined in its function (I liked very much)
+ Quality of the images, as all DSLRs, at a high level
For me this was the better camera than the 700d time now is (but both very good!) And cheaper by at least 200 euros. However, there also some criticisms, was saved at the housing, but what was more than fine with me. The display has on not too high, but the viewfinder is better suited.
A major point of criticism I have, and that is the accessories. As clear Canon and Nikon is better particularly disturbing in this camera, however, the remote release. Sony gave up a connection for Remote Camera Controll, as well as to infrared. You can remotely trigger only on a multi-connection. However, Sony sells far the single remote release for at least 60 euro, which can not very much (no display, no timelapse etc). So take a look at the accessories available and decide what's important.
