The editors didn't like
High price
No viewfinder
The camera is relatively slow and given the price
The photo quality should be better. Also
The grip isn't big enough to maintain a solid hold
Limited video options
Heavy and not particularly compact
Especially when switched on
Screen's tilt mechanism seems fragile
Quite a few annoying flaws with design and handling
Slow to switch between EVF and LCD
Slow to start up and save photos
Sharpness levels only look e
Bulkier than rivals
Quite pricey
Viewfinder costs extra
Super expensive
Now no viewfinder for the price
Autofocus not ample for professional continuous AF
Some controls seem fussy
A bit chunky
Widest aperture no good for macro wide-angle shots

Too big and heavy, Unreliable autofocusing, Barebones smartphone app
