I bought it for 800€ and I've had it for 4 months now. I switched from a Sony a230 and here's what I have to say:
1) It has an amazing battery life to the point where I only have to charge it once a week.
2) It can shoot 4k up to 30 fps and the full HD video is perfect. Unfortunately, it doesn't support dual pixel auto focus in 4k resolution, but it's fantastic in full HD.
3) Due to its weight and usability, it is much more durable than my previous camera. I mean that if you are in the mountains or somewhere else and something falls on it, don't worry. I noticed that it didn't suffer any damage except for a scratch on the screen.
4) It has an incredibly easy menu. If you think you will save money by sticking with the previous model, think again. The price difference is small, but I preferred this one with a 350€ difference.
Some tips:
First, you should consider that it is a crop sensor DSLR and not a full frame, so I don't recommend any of the L lenses. Based on my experience with my friend's 24-105 f/4 lens, you will simply waste your money. What I would suggest is if you want something more than the kit lens, then go for the 50mm f/1.4 if you are into portraits. It's a bit expensive, but trust me, it's worth the money. On the other hand, if you are into street or landscape photography, go for the 55-250mm lens, which is significantly cheaper and performs just as well.
As for accessories, a tripod is essential, as well as a lens hood for sun protection or even a filter. Lastly, get an SD card so you can store your photos in the camera. Otherwise, as you can understand, the camera is useless. Personally, I recommend a 64GB card because you won't have to worry about space, and they are relatively cheap. Otherwise, there are also 32GB cards available.
That's all I had to say. Thank you for listening!
