Of course)
Hard to see screen in bright outdoor light
Camera can struggle to lock focus in low light
No sensorshift IS in movie mode
AF system slow to react to moving subjects

Not as compact as some of its competitors
Touchscreen is easily bumped by mistake
High ISO performance and dynamic range not as good as APS-C rivals
Lowest available ISO sensitivity is 200
Low power flash (though better than no flash

Pricey
* Confusing menu system beyond the basics
* Weak flash output
* Only 3 frames per second continuous shooting
Expensive. A bit heavy and slightly larger than its predecessor. No optical viewfinder. Touch screen interaction can be confusing.
Poor color accuracy
Below average AWB
Useless ISO 12800
No detents on lower controldial
Poor video framing preview accuracy
Modal ExposureCompensation
Histogram disappears during EC
Not always ExposurePriority and frequently wrong LiveHistogram
Un
PriceyNo dedicated ISO wheelPoor low-light performance
Poor video quality and suboptimal default image settings aren't that great
So you really need to shoot raw to get good results at midrange to high ISO sensitivities.
Would benefit from a new
Improved sensor. All that metal means it's no lightweight. It's got so many features and options you might spend more time figuring it out than shooting. What happened to 24fps video?
