Bokeh is smooth and creamy, beautifully separating subjects against a pleasingly blurred background.

Its excellent low-light performance allows for impressive shots even in dimly lit environments. Although the price is certainly high, the performance of the camera is completely worth the cost, suitable for both professional and amateur photographers.
