The editors didn't like
The product is nearly perfect
With flaws so nitpicky and minor that most every user would shrug them off. The biggest hangup
Really
Is the price. But you can find a few tiny technical shortcomings if you look hard enough
For example
There is a pop-up
No EVF
WiFi or GPS option
Limited zoom range
Incamera battery charging only
Lens flare at nigh
Slow flash recycling
Continuous AF mode slow to lock
Bit expensive like DSLR cameras
Detail loss due to excessive noise reduction
Popup flash is delicate
Slippery body makes it hard to get a grip
No WiFi

One of the largest image sensors to be found in a compact camera; high 20MP resolution; Full HD video with stereo sound; full manual controls and intelligent auto settings; solid aluminium construction and understated design
