Burst mode of 10 fps, Built for rugged use, Extensive weather sealing, 51-point AF system is very effective at tracking subjects and low light performance, Great high ISO performance, Best video quality we have seen so far
Battery life reduced to just 2200 shots, Quite heavy. Will require a rig for stabilizing when shooting video, Pricey
