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

Popup flash is delicate
Slippery body makes it hard to get a grip
No WiFi

Abstract: The lens retracts partially into the camera body when power is switched off, extending in two sections for shooting. With power off, the camera is genuinely pocketable, unlike its nearest rival the Canon PowerShot G1X . (A comparison of these cameras is p...
Sleek, Great screen, Shoots in raw format, Customisable buttons, Picture Effects
