Except for some things listed under 'Cons', this camera is an utterly superb photographic machine. Check out Stek-7's review below for a good writeup of pros and cons (except I haven't had any lock-ups; be sure to update the firmware immediately).
February 2014 Edit: I have decided to update this review. Although the scores have moved around slightly, the camera stays at 9 overall, and still recommended. It has proven itself to be extremely capable device, although not without its quirks (but I was mostly aware of those when buying it). I wish it were 5mm taller though.
The battery lasts for years. Seriously, I routinely get 1500-2000 shots off, even with AF and SR turned on.
AF in good light is very fast, although it drops noticeably after a certain point. CAF in low light can be really hit-or-miss, sometimes adjusting at once, sometimes taking about two seconds (but feels like ages). I have found that the large AF points can be a problem in some situations.
Will continue to update. |
