I find it very useful for wildlife photos. Autofocus never seems to work well for me on e.g. birds in flight.

It's also possible to generate a depth map from a single shot, to use as a starting point for a 3D model.

They're pretty neat cameras. The relatively low output resolution is the main downside. They would also have greatly benefited from consulting with more photographers on the UI of the hardware and software. There's way too much dependency on using the touchscreen instead of dedicated physical controls.

The more recent cameras can detect birds specifically and are great at tracking them.

That is true, but is a very niche need. Wonderful if you do need it, but it's a small market.
