Construction feels solid, though from the beginning I had some issues with the
flash. It would pop-out, but would not lock when I press it down. Needed to wiggle
the release first. Hence my lower score for Construction.
Features. Which ones? There are no features here folks! DSLR sensor is the only
feature. If you are looking for others - there are none. This does not mean bad. But
features are not this camera's strength.
Image quality is great. At base ISO much better than what I can get from any PS
and many DSLR's. Good DR, great resolution. At higher ISO quality degraded faster
than with DSLR's but better than with PS. Lens is great. Sharp results even at f/2.8.
Not easy to use. OK but not great. Very few single button controls. Focusing is slow
and a bit unpredictable. With no AF gives-up very fast in bad lighting. Much worse
than any other camera I have used, PS or DSLR. In good light performance is
decent. Slow operations, slow to dump pictures to the memory card.
Values is very subjective. It is a very limited camera in terms of types of pictures you
can take. But when operating in its element results are great. So it is up to you. It is
pricy and if you are looking to get only one camera this is not the one to get.
Problems:
All of the info above.
