The editors didn't like

  • Controls can be intimidating at first
  • Small and cluttered buttons
  • Especially zoom and fourway controllers and shutter release button
  • Lens can be seen through optical viewfinder when at wideangle position
  • Some redeye
  • Though removal tool in playback mode got rid of it
  • Can't use optical zoom in movie mode
  • 24 fps frame rate a bit choppy
  • Wish list
  • Faster lens
  • WB bracketing
  • Ability to set co
  • No optical zoom while recording video
  • No microphone jack
  • Awkward size

  • Controls are stiff and rough
  • Small Shutter button and Zoom ring
  • Mediocre cycle times
  • Poor optical viewfinder coverage
  • High barrel distortion at wide-angle

  • Pricey
  • Bulky
  • Small sensor for such a big camera
  • Slow shooting speed
  • No zooming during video recording
  • Maximum aperture of F2.8
  • A bit bulky
  • Price
  • High ISO noise problems
  • Sluggish focusing
  • Size
  • Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish
  • Some annoying controls
  • Expensive
  • Too much noise at elevated ISOs
  • No dedicated video button
  • May be the end of an era
  • Even lowerpriced competing models offer higherresolution 1080p HD video capture. Only digital zooming during video capture degrades quality. Imaging sensor is still tiny
  • Though other advanced compacts have gone big. Antiquated menu system
  • Poor optical finder (but no worse than G11/Nikon P7000)
  • No direct video recording button
  • 24fps maximum frame rate in 720p movie mode (although many people prefer this to 30fps+)
  • Rear control dial can be hard to manipulate precisely
  • Video function lacks finesse - no zooming or AF during recording
  • Bulkier than some competitors
  • Slow continuous shooting at full resolution
  • Can't optically zoom while filming
  • Lumix LX5 and PowerShot S95 compelling alternatives
  • No longer smaller than a camera with a DSLR sensor.
  • Could maybe of done with a few more upgrades
