The editors didn't like
The relatively short zoom reach can feel limiting if you're used to smaller-sensor point-and-shoots with long optical zoom

It lacks a tilting LCD screen
Making it harder to get shots from above and below eye-level
Controls
It's got a fixed LCD and the lens really needs a hood to minimize flare
Expensive. Bulky. Overactive video autofocus. Sensor resolution limits detail. No built-in flash. Fixed LCD doesn't support touch input. Lacks microphone input
No touch or tilt LCD
Flash is a separate piece
A bit large for the pocket
Small size is tough-going for those with larger hands
Price is a bit steep at $900
Rear LCD is not a touch screen
No external mic jack
Lacks built-in flash
JPEG noise reduction and sharpening are rather crude at low ISOs
Lens range can be limiting
12MP may not be enough for some users
Manually positioning an AF point is awkward (and workaround limits customization choices)
