The editors didn't like
16Mp sensor rather than 20Mp
Relatively small viewfinder
The continuous autofocus occasionally fails to lock at all in burst mode
And the battery life is poor
Default control set-up feels dated
Viewfinder isn't the best
No mic socket for video
No ISO 100 option
Image processing can negate critical detail (from ISO 3200)
Limited battery life
Loses a stop in shutter speed (compared to GX8)
Continuous autofocus still not quite there
Some might miss the low-pass filter
Screen doesn't articulate
Small viewfinder
Somewhat complicated controls that take a while to learn
