Once you set up the menu the way you like to shoot, the Sony is easy as
pie.

There are several lists of setups that make that easy.

I like the little function sub menu that lets you change or turn on or off
certain functions.  I hardly ever access the main menu set.

The abundance of lens choices Zeiss, Sony, sigma, and others including some
bargain priced Samyang primes makes it more versatile.
