Issues that seem to have been resolved in latest batch:-

1 - Left AF point misalignment

2 - 10 pin socket not securely mounted

3 - Rear monitor screen has a green cast

4 - User measured white balance has a green cast

I have not experienced any of the above, but there have been a significant number of others who have.

Issues that remain (I have experienced all of these)

1 - Inaccurate AF in low light

2 - When using the AF-On button to focus (rather than the shutter button) it is possible to take a shot when the subject is not in focus, even with focus priority set. Trap focus is not possible.

3 - The monitor image in liveview does not display until the last image has been written to the card. Depending on the card specification this may mean having to wait a couple of seconds before being able to compose the next shot.

4 - Matrix metering is too sensitive to what falls beneath the selected focus point. Small changes in composition can generate significant changes in metered exposure.

I have other minor niggles with the camera, but I would not call them 'faults', rather just personal preference, so I won't list those.
