  • Best-in-class autofocus performance and operation
  • Battery life much improved
  • Attractive JPEGs and excellent Raws
  • Very good photo-focused controls and layout
  • High build quality
  • Image stabilization would be a benefit
  • Fixed rear screen will be limiting
  • Lens isn’t critically sharp at close distances and wide apertures
  • Battery life still not great
  • ‘Film’ color modes are quite extreme
  • Dense, complex menus
  • That price
