What reviewers say
Both praise responsive still-image autofocus, strong high-ISO results and the substantial, sealed body. Both find default JPEG detail less convincing than RAW and criticise the bundled editing software. Photography Blog finds live-view and movie autofocus slow and audible, and dislikes the fixed screen and awkward drive dial; Photo Review also notes lens noise in recorded audio.
