Those who say that the camera is extremely lightweight are not correct, in my opinion. Despite this, there is some discomfort after having the camera dragged around the neck for an hour, as the lens adds more than a kilogram to the total weight of the camera. The photos are outstanding under any circumstances. ISO is completely usable up to the setting of 6400. After then, there are some noises that may be heard, although they are not particularly disturbing. A kit lens is fine for beginners. It is true that it is rather dim, but the blurring of the backdrop is fairly good, and the clarity of everything is satisfactory at the focus spots. The construction of the camera is really high-quality; the only area that has a little bit of a backlash is the memory card chamber. The video is also excellent, although I didn't spend much time filming it because I didn't bring the camera with me:) In general, it is quite a good device for novices, and for such a reasonable price, I recommend that you purchase it:)
