Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Popup flash is easy to block with your left hand, The look of the camera is nothing special and is only available in black, HD video mode is of below average quality
  • Photos are soft, with lots of detail smudging and highlight clipping; for best results you must use EXR modes, which lower resolution and limit control of settings, Edges of frame can be blurry; strong purple fringing at times; camera tends to overexpose
  • Poor video quality, Shutter lag at startup and after zooming, Photos exhibit belowaverage sharpness, Autofocus searches during video and zooming, Disappointing lowlight performance
  • It doesn't give you many manual controls
