What reviewers say

Both reviews praised the dependable autofocus, fast shooting, robust handling, large viewfinder and high-ISO images. They considered it highly specialised and expensive for most photographers. Amateur Photographer highlighted battery endurance and effective eye-control selection, but noted limited deep-shadow latitude; TechRadar regretted that in-camera upscaling cannot produce higher-resolution RAW files.
