Slow to focus in low light
Smudgeproof screen isn't smudge proof
Massive image files out of the camera
Slow AF in video mode
No microphone input
Cannot adjust settings for exposure or ISO in movie mode.
Cannot continuously focus during video recording (user must hold down a button to refocus if subjects change their distance from the camera). Autofocus mechanism is audible in video recordings. Full HD 1080 video capture looks sluggish due to its low fram...
Sound on video is mono-only
Movie frame rate only 20fps
Expensive
Particularly if you need to buy the lens as well
Poor sound in movie recording
Stumbles in harshly backlit situations
Pronounced orange hue in most photos
Especially indoor shots. Reds look weak. Outdoor pics usually come out overexposed. 3inch LCD doesn't swivel
So you have to hold the camera in front of your nose while filming.
Annoying viewfinder
Video capture is its only better-than-basic feature.
Visibly more noise in RAW files than some of the competition
Slightly less highlight range in JPGs than the competition
Relatively limited RAW headroom
Channel clipping means color accuracy can often not be maintained when recovering clipped areas in R...

No external mic jack or manual exposure controls when shooting video.
