among interchangeable-lens cameras, it's still a well-designed model that's fun to shoot with and capable of producing very nice photos.

It's just 353 grams without battery, card or lens attached and if it's paired with the 30mm f/2 pancake lens it's slim enough to put in a large pocket, if you dare tote around the slight bulge.

Put that tech and those dimensions into practice and you get a small, thin and well-moulded design that is comfortable to hold and therefore to shoot with. "

Using some clever smoke and mirrors (or not as the case may be) Samsung, like Panasonic and Olympus, has removed the single lens reflex element allowing for a smaller body and one that is almost half the thickness of the company's now defunct GX20 DSLR model. "
|
|
|
|

|
The only downside to the size is that unless you fit the camera with anything other than the 30mm pancake lens (there are several lens options) the lenses and accessories look rather oversized. "

You won't be able to use a previous-generation flash either, so if you are after more advanced flash photography, you'll have to buy one from the new system. "

Sony seems to have the slowest battery chargers on the planet, with this one taking 250 minutes to fully charge the NP-FW50. "
