Quick review
- The good
- Image quality, handling, super control panel, comprehensive, creative feature set, good dust reduction system, retro styling, build, lenses
- The bad
- No (built-in) viewfinder, no built-in flash, price
- Verdict
- We were won over by the image quality and that at the end of the day is probably the single most important factor and so makes this a camera one we cannot help but recommend
