Quick review

The good: Lens, OIS, build, white balance, easy to use, responsive, nice menus, movie mode
The bad: Noisy images in low ISO modes, worse noise in the images at high ISOs and, erm, more image noise problems from noise reduction removing image detail
Verdict: Great specification and excellent handling is marred by OTT image noise. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting and temptingly specified camera
