Conclusion - Cons
Slow focus (hunting) at longer focal lengths, in macro mode and in low light
Some focus errors at long end of zoom and in macro mode
Large screen and lack of grip makes for rather poor handling
Too easy to accidentally knock the joystick and bring up menus
Some aspects of user-interface are a bit fiddly
Noisy and soft results at ISO 400 / ISO 800
Mild image quality issues: highlight clipping, purple fringing, distortion, corner softness
Occasional overexposure of bright scenes
Sound cuts out before the end of movie clips
Very limited photographic control
No exposure information at all in record or playback mode
Face detection not as fast or reliable as some competitors
Fairly slow shot-to-shot times (particularly when using flash)
