Mid-range SLR. Made in an aluminium alloy case. APS-C type matrix has a resolution of 12.1 megapixels. Software features include advanced processing capabilities for footage, including overlaying pictures and working with RAW. But the possibilities of video shooting are relatively modest: a video in a maximum resolution of 720p can be less than 5 minutes long. However, there is an HDMI output for viewing content. The viewfinder with a frame coverage of 96% is complemented by a 3 "Live-View display with 920K pixels. The lens is included in the package.
