The editors didn't like
Lack of buttons sometimes a problem
Battery drains quickly
Flash prevents use of other accessories
Oblong design resembles more prototype than finished item
Fiddly scroll wheel and function access requires period of familiarisation
Pricey if bought with zoom lens
No touchscreen
As expensive as a DSLR
Slow autofocus
Permanently-exposed sensor means nerve-shredding lens changes
Minuses
Useless flash port
Not enough direct access to key settings
Not easy for everybody to hold
A little slow to start up
Sluggish startup. Only three E lenses currently available. Mounting the flash is fiddly
There's no built-in optical viewfinder
Which might annoy some dedicated photography fans. ISO
Metering
Focus are all controlled vis menu screens

We found it powering down pretty quickly
Especially given the lack of physical controls.There’s no built-in flash
