Inevitably, we found a few minor things to complain about, in particular wishing for more sure-footed autofocusing under dim lighting and a quicker shutter response, but taken as a whole, it’s a highly capable camera with great optics and excellent color, and something of a bargain compared with some of the models it competes with.
