Quick review

The good
Waterproof to 3 metres, excellent metering and colour balance, good build and feature set, image quality, low noise at low ISO, SP (anti-drip) lens coating
The bad
Slow tracking AF, anti-reflective screen (still) difficult to use in direct sunlight, no optical viewfinder, slow response, sharpness issues
Verdict
It’s pocketable and simple to use but not without some flaws
