What reviewers say
Both reviews praised the versatile lens, autofocus, handling and battery improvements, while finding the price high. Digital Camera World found Auto subject recognition inconsistent in foliage and liked the zoom control. TechRadar found zooming sluggish and preferred the older top controls, despite welcoming the joystick; low-light detail remained a limitation.
