The editors didn't like
Too big and heavy
Unreliable autofocusing
Barebones smartphone app
The camera is relatively slow and given the price
The photo quality should be better. Also
The grip isn't big enough to maintain a solid hold
Expensive. Soft-focus halo effect when shooting macro images at f/2. Inconsistent autofocus accuracy. Edges never sharpen
Even at narrow apertures. Lacks mic input port. Not pocket friendly. Heavy
Can be slow at times
Grip is too small
Images aren't as sharp as we expected
We wish that the autofocus were a bit faster and more accurate
Wifi implementation is a bit clunky
Considerable shadow noise in Raw
Abrupt highlight clipping
Program line's tendency to use wide apertures can lead to unintentional background blur
Inner lens ring can be frustratingly unresponsive
AF system can struggle in low contrast / low light sit
