Pros: Great photo definition, quality lens and camera

Cons: Very disappointed to see dust work its way into the lens. Unable to fix lens because it's hermetically sealed (how did the dust get it?). Cost of new lens only $200 less than whole new camera.

Overall: 'Hermetically sealed' lens should not be affected by dust. Nice balance both physically and photographically. Colour of photos excellent, automatic focus works well. Pre set settings (sport, landscape, portrait, automatic) work well. JPG software in camera provides decent compression and photographic quality, RAW compatible. Menu's intuitive. Battery life good. Instruction manual thorough. Plenty for the enthusiast.
