What reviewers say
Both praise the compact design, detailed images, film simulations and addition of in-body stabilisation. Both find the lack of weather sealing and modest viewfinder and screen limiting. TechRadar criticises the small grip and overheating during extended video recording; Photography Blog appreciates the restored controls but finds ISO changes slower with the new dial.
