The editors didn't like
It's expensive
Fuji's menu system is less intuitive than alternatives
The lens has a few quirks
As does the autofocus system
Lowlight AF slow and inconsistent
Video quality
Even at 60p
Compromised by moire and lack of image stabilization
Combined fourway pad/Command dial means AF control points cumbersome to change
Too easy to bump control dials and change settings acciden
Bigger than some other large-sensor compacts. Lens suffers from edge softness. Macro shots at wide apertures have a soft-focus look. Video could be better. No image stabilization. Rear LCD could be sharper
The flash has some seriously weak game
Very slow autofocus in lowlight
Some overexposure
Some cast under tungsten lighting
Wrong LiveHistogram
Based on display
Not ExposurePriority
Clear but pointless OVF
Two dials needed per exposure parameter
No AEL with MF
Illogical and underused b
Image quality less than what is achievable from an APSC sensor
No shake reduction
Slow and somewhat inaccurate autofocus
LCD smallish and of low resolution by today's standards
Shutter speeds can't go lower that 1/4 s in autoexposure modes
Quirky con
Clumsy control system
Video is an afterthought
Minor build quality complaints
Controls take longer than usual to master. Battery life and meter can cut a planned long day shooting too short
