Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Pentax KP and Sony A6500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax KP has external dimensions of 132 x 101 x 76 mm (5.2 x 3.98 x 2.99″) and weighs 703 g (1.55 lb / 24.80 oz) (including batteries). Sony A6500 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 53 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.09″) and weighs 453 g (1.00 lb / 15.98 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax KP and Sony A6500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A6500 is significantly lighter (250g ) than the Pentax KP which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Pentax KP and Sony A6500 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
