What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Sony a68 (ILCA68K) DSLR Camera + 18-55 mm DT f/3.5-5.6 SAM II
- It's slightly bigger than my previous model, but it's not a problem. It's easy to set up.
- It is light and compact; histogram is live and indicates exposure as exposure adjustments are made.
- Bought this camera as an upgrade to my well used a37. The bigger body is far more comfortable to hold having big hands. The AF is very responsive and works well even in low light levels.
- A great camera for those looking to take a step up from their phone or point and click cameras. Easy to learn, great picture quality, lightweight and all at a reasonable price.
- Disappointed with the weight and bulk and very disappointed that I can't use RAW on my Adobe Elements.
