The editors didn't like
Pricey if you don’t require broadcast quality video
Slight delay whilst mirror mechanism flips out of the way before video recording can commence
Clip duration limited to just under 30 minutes as it’s a camera not a camcorder
No "clean" HDMI output
Buttons to control camera settings take some getting used to
We'd love to see some more high frame-rate modes
Complicated AF system
A bit pricey
JPEG photos at low ISO sensitivities don't match the generally excellent level of quality that you can otherwise get out of this camera
Only slightly more resolution than fouryearold previous model

Compact for a full-frame SLR. 22-megapixel resolution. Large optical viewfinder. Bright, high-res rear LCD. Fast autofocus. 6fps continuous shooting. Excellent high ISO performance. 1080p video recording.
Expensive. Slow focus in Live View and Video modes. No built-in flash. Not compatible with EF-S lenses
