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.

I have only had it for a week so am still learning. I upgraded from a sony A350. The A68 photos are a much better quality.
A little fiddly but full of great features that helps take great photos that is more important.
Still learning how to use this full-featured camera. So far, have taken excellent photographs with little effort to fully control camera settings.
I'm very impressed with image quality, so clear and amazing colors. Highly recommended.
The image quality is superb in both pictures and video, i can do really great crops with the 24mp resolution and not loose quality when uploading to instagram and social media.

Easy to use, bright screen and great features, fast usb port, beautiful design.
The camera body is made very durable, the quality of all parts is excellent, even the SD card slot looks good.
I already managed to make a bunch of photos, all of them are stored on my SD card. This card works well and does not cause problems.
I was very pleased with this camera. Since yesterday, the usb port has stopped working. Although I used it very carefully.
SD card is not stable, very often my camera does not recognize the card. It makes me so angry!
