Reviewers Didn't Like

  • High noise in low light, Insufficient grip with large lenses, Small buffer for burst mode, Poor image quality straight out of the camera
  • Feature laden to the point of feeling bloated. Pricey
  • Overly complicated and confusing camera takes a long time to figure out, Movie recording cuts off nearly a second before the start/stop button was pressed (easy to work around, but a nuisance nonetheless)
  • Camera is bulkier than most mirrorless models, Shutter makes a little noise, even in "mute" mode, With large 14140mm lens, camera is heavy, needs a tripod
