This is my first full frame camera and I figured the best place to put it through it's tracks is Australia's Maxim Magazine Bikini Model of the Year Final's Pre-Show.

REVIEW
The first thing I have to say is that the quality is amazing, coming from someone who typically shoots on her smartphone or at best a 3/4 inch sensor, it's just wow.
I ran the camera in manual mode because I find that using Auto does lead to strangeness in the video footage, primarily due to the constant shift in shutter speed as the camera tried to compensate the changing lighting conditions.
Manual mode is pretty challenging to get a handle on, but I find that if you just lock the shutter speed to double or quadruple your frame rate, the footage looks bright and enjoyable in playback. I did accidentally shift the exposure ring to max on the start which lead to some grainy footage, however once I dialed it back, the quality became smooth again.
The shoot took about an hour and a half and the battery was still at over 40% by the end of it, however I have to say that this camera is pretty weighty compared to what I'm used to. This did make it a challenge to keep the camera fully steady, but the stabilisation in the lens and body seemed to work well.
The autofocus was great as expected from a Sony. I previously used a Panasonic camera in the past and it was a nightmare in low light.
The kit lens used was... well I haven't tried any other lens so I can't compare, but as you can see the quality and stabilisation was great.
