The editors didn't like
So-so battery life
Modest lens reach
GPS function is buried
Poor close-focusing
Very expensive
No hotshoe for viewfinder or extra flash
200 shots per charge
Edges of the frame aren't as sharp at wideangle settings
Heavy distortion in RAW shots at wideangle settings
Aperture soon drops as you zoom (f/2 for wideangle
F/5.9 for telephoto)
Limited battery life (200 photos or less with GPS active)

But you’ll still need to keep your charger handy on short trips.
Launch price is a little steep
Limited control over the builtin flash
Some features aren't as easily accessible as we'd like
