The editors didn't like
Weak battery life
Gets extremely warm when video recording
High price
Expensive
Max aperture of f/4 at 100mm
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
Jerky HD video at 24fp
Pricey
Photos taken beyond ISO 6400 become speckled with noise
Neck strap lovers won't appreciate the lack of lug-mounts
Don't forget to personalize your controls
Wi-Fi implementation is dated
Very expensive
Omits internal neutral density filter
Lens hood blocks flash at wide angles
Very expensive. Short zoom range. Lacks hot shoe. External charger not included
Extremely expensive for a fixed-lens camera
Fairly heavy for fixed-lens camera
Somewhat soft in the corners at wide-angle or tele
Noise reduction intrudes at higher sensitivities
No built-in ND filter
Not as fast when shooting raws
Slow buffer clear
Costs as much as a DSLR. Tighter zoom range stops short of ultimate portrait territory. A step back in battery life as compared to previous models. Needs a certain storage card to use its best video mode
Clickless
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
