Re: 5 stars seems optimistic :-)

Nick,

Would you give a medium format film camera barely a 1 for things it wasn't designed for? There are even more things it can't do well.

The point is that for about half the price of a decent lens for your favorite dSLR or mirrorless masterpiece you get a camera with lens that can out-perform either for the things it was designed to do which is make incredibly good images which are tack sharp corner to corner.

As the OP plainly showed in his review - it was given excellent credit for what it does well and poor marks for what it can't do well. It's pretty plain that the OP is discussing image quality.

Best regards,

Lin

Considering how much the camera can't do well I wouldn't give it more than a qualified 3 or 4 stars. Of course for some things it is a 5 but for others it would barely make 1

And yes, I bought mine for just over £300 as well,

Nick
