Its Sony E mount allows you to interchange lenses to adapt the camera to each situation, from portraits to landscapes. It includes a 3-inch tilting LCD screen with 920,000 dots, which facilitates framing from awkward angles, and a pop-up flash to illuminate dark scenes.
This second-hand unit has been inspected and comes with the Camera Market warranty (6, 12, or 24 months), giving you peace of mind with every shot.
