Still no 4K video recording
Pro or premium lens required to get best high-res mode shots
Slightly lower battery life
Some may consider iAuto to be over the top with color

Overly complex interface
No built-in flash
Autofocus sometimes sluggish in low light
Poor color accuracy
Strong antialias filter
Not always ExposurePriority and frequently wrong LiveHistogram
1080p @ 60 FPS has recording 8s limit
1s filming delay
Weak LCD hinge
Uncomfortable eyelets
Short batterylife
Control dials are easily bumped
Below-average battery life at default settings
Buffer depths for raw shooters are a bit limited
16-megapixel sensor resolution feels dated
Weak bundled flash strobe
Low resolution by contemporary standards

Default autofocus settings limit camera performance
Native image quality similar to previous models
40MP mode requires specific conditions and lenses to shine
Continuous AF becomes less confident with fast subjects
Timelapse and miniature movies encoded at low frame rate
