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 Kodak Astro AZ651 and Sony A6500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak Astro AZ651 has external dimensions of 125 x 114 x 89 mm and weighs 567 g (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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak Astro AZ651 and the Sony A6500. Kodak Astro AZ651 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 120mm narrower, 67mm shorter and 53mm thinner than Sony A6500. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Kodak Astro AZ651 has a built-in lens but Sony A6500 doesn't. Once you put a lens on A6500, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak Astro AZ651 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 (114g ) than the Kodak Astro AZ651 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on A6500, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the A6500, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the Astro AZ651.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Kodak Astro AZ651 and Sony A6500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A6500 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Kodak Astro AZ651 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
