Thanks, yes I still see posts about the over heating being an issue for some users, others not, but if I was doing a lot of video I would be concerned for sure but primarily I do photos, for me the size is the big plus I had leg problems and carrying my pentax which was so much heavier so I got a 5000 to use just for taking into the city but loved it and ended up selling the pentax, and loving the 6500 for what I do
