I really liked the 20-1200 focal length, panorama feature and price.

It does allow you to shoot a 4K burst of footage and then view it frame by frame and select stills.

You can also take 3 shots and alter the depth of focus then combine the 3 shots.

I wear reading glasses so I need a good viewfinder as I can't just glance at the rear screen. Yesterday I thought the camera was broken. I couldn't get it to focus on anything. Cleaned it, turned it off and on.
Finally I noticed the 'diopter adjustment dial' for the viewfinder was not in the correct position for me - must have bumped it when I packed the camera last - I re-adjusted it and everything came back into focus.
Lesson learned!
Cool. That's fine. That is almost the entire reason I got Sony a7iii... for the HDR 4k video.

Those are features of the camera sound cool. The 3 different depth of focus and combining is known as focal stacking. It's great for macro shots.
