Reviewer Insights & Tips

Battery Life: Improved significantly—tests show up to 2h14m recording in 4K 24p, a notable upgrade.

Handling & Interface: Light (377g), better grip, rotating touchscreen, intuitive mode switch, customizable buttons. USB-C charging/streaming adds convenience.

Stabilization: Electronic Active SteadyShot works well, but adds crop. Lenses with OSS help reduce shake without heavy cropping.

Community Q&A Highlights (from Reddit)

Flash limitations:
Without a mechanical shutter, flash sync is limited to 1/30 sec. High-speed sync (HSS/FP) helps but reduces power significantly.

Overheating issues:
Users report heating even while idle or using as a webcam. Some mitigated this with fans, open display, and ventilation.

Cage compatibility:
Mk II has a larger grip; Mk I cages often don’t fit. Many recommend using cages designed specifically for Mk II.

Dummy battery advice:
Recommended options include the official Sony ACPW20 or third-party solutions like Juicebox JB‑JBDP‑01 for longer streaming sessions without overheating
