What reviewers say

Reviews praise detailed images, effective subject tracking and stabilisation, making it a capable action camera. Both find the combined joystick and rear dial awkward and the viewfinder ordinary. Their launch-era criticism centres on limited native APS-C lens choice; Amateur Photographer also finds JPEG highlight recovery restrictive, while Photography Blog praises the camera's balanced performance.
