缺點:
- CCD only 1/2.5", noisy when underexpose at ISO > 200
- At F2.8 12x zoom, CA is visible at edge of high contrast objects
- No TTL hotshoe
- EVF resolution not high enough
- EVF and LCD do not gain up at dark (especially with M mode)
- Battery not enough for full day operation (enough for half day though, if no flash/LCD shooting)
- Fastest shutter at F2.8 only 1/1000, need ND if want to play shallow DOF
- Longest shutter only 8s, not enough for some fancy light effect
- Inconvenient "Exposure" button position (when using A/S/M mode)
- No RAW (comparing with DSLR, not fair though)
- Barrel distortion at wide end
