What reviewers say

Both praise the small design, video features and value for creators, while noting that the lack of a viewfinder and in-body stabilisation limits its appeal for photographers. Photography Blog appreciates the retained photographic controls and microphone and headphone sockets. TechRadar finds handling fiddly for large hands and criticises the slower UHS-I card slot.
