A ‘fantastic all-rounder’ full-frame camera with versatile lens and lots of extras at a great price

In our original five-star review, camera tester Amy Davies said: ‘I’ve loved using it as a family camera to document the everyday life of my young daughter, but it’s also performed well for other subjects, such as birds, as well as being generally good overall for more general / easier subjects such as landscapes and so on.’
