  • Image sharpness and details could be better, Some purple fringing, No optical zoom during video recording
  • Slightly soft lens at both wide-angle and telephoto, Left side of our sample was soft at middle focal lengths, 14-megapixel sensor does not deliver the same detail as a 12-megapixel design, Heavy anti-noise processing softens detail even at low ISOs, H

  • Controls may be too fiddly for some, Aggressive noise reduction reduces detail, Aggressive sharpening can cause artefacts

  • No manual mode, No zoom in video recording
