What reviewers say
Both praise responsive shooting, image quality, stabilisation and the detailed viewfinder. Photography Blog reports a high autofocus hit rate with fast riders and prefers the configurable controls for hybrid use. Amateur Photographer finds subject tracking can lose low-contrast or briefly obscured subjects and notes occasional touchscreen delays; both consider the launch price a substantial premium for speed.
