Expensive

No builtin ND filter
Menu system not as intuitive as could be
Purple fringing and blooming evident in some areas
The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder
The autofocus system could be more consistent
And it has poor battery life
Sluggish autofocu
Occasional autoexposre glitche

Lens hood blocks flash at wide angles

Noise reduction intrudes at higher sensitivities

Slightly laggy control dial can make shooting experience feel disconnected
Focus peaking rather prone to indicating everything as infocus
JPEG sharpening a little clumsy and interacts oddly with heavy noise reduction
Autofocus can be hesitan
New lens loses builtin ND filter
Lots of glass to push around means slower startup and zoom times
Autofocus prone to hunting
Touchscreen would improve control
Especially AF point placement
Menu system still needs a makeover
Buttons are mushy and lac
Removal of Multiinterface shoe
Lacking ability to manually select AF points on rear screen
