What reviewers say

Both reviews praised autofocus, video options, image quality and the improved grip and battery. They found electronic stabilisation useful but restrictive because of its crop, and missed a viewfinder and more photography controls. Amateur Photographer liked imported LUTs and judged it affordable; PhotographyBlog considered the higher launch price poor value against the A6700.
