No storage expansion
Shot to shot time can be slow

But yes
It would be nice if the images saved fast
Costly
No External Storage Option
Adds bulk to the camera
Poor battery
Camera is slow to get going
Shottoshot time should have been less
Not many games available on WP8 platform
Lacks memory card slot
Camera protrusion on back
Uneven weight distribution
