Pocketable and fixed-lens

Compacts are measured with their lens, so depth here is the whole camera.

Full frame bodies

Body only, no lens. Depth includes the grip, which is why the R5 and Z8 measure deeper than the DSLRs they replaced.

How the drawings work

  • Every outline is drawn at the same scale from the manufacturer's published width, height and depth, so a camera that looks 10% wider is 10% wider.
  • Interchangeable-lens bodies are measured without a lens. Fixed-lens compacts are measured with theirs, and the page says so when you compare one against the other.
  • Outlines are simplified shapes (body, viewfinder hump, grip, lens mount), not product drawings. They show bulk, not styling.
  • Two similar bodies are overlaid so the difference shows at a glance. When one is more than 25% taller or wider than the other they're drawn side by side instead, on a 20 mm grid.
  • Weight is the manufacturer's published figure. Prices are the cheapest used asking price we found in the nightly check of dealers and marketplaces, leaving out poor-condition copies.
