What reviewers say
Reviews praise the robust body, controls, flexible screen, stabilisation and hybrid features. Photography Blog considers it a sensible cheaper alternative to the S1II when speed matters less. Amateur Photographer finds reliable autofocus and good image quality, but notes slow buffer clearance, easier rival autofocus and awkward positioning below the S1II. Both question how strongly it improves on cheaper Lumix bodies.
