Very good image quality, Quick start up and quick auto focus, AMOLED screen is very bright and sharp, Battery life is very good, Very nice mix of easy to use automatic features and manual control features
Menu structure could be a little easier to use, Will find occasional problems with noise in photos, Not enough features for most experienced photographers
