[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 832331, member: 50197"] Well, it arrived today. She had a chance to look at it, and power it up, making initial changes. No chance to actually take any pictures. I got a bit of a look. It's about the same size and weight as the Z5, and very similar control layout. Build quality looks better than the lower end DSLRs such as the D3400 and D5600. I like the fact that it has U/1,2,3 settings on the mode dial. It's supposed to rain the next few days here, so I doubt it will be getting a real test drive for a while.
