What's Hot

Huge picture size, no noticeable noise up to ISO 800, solidly constructed, optical image stabilisation

What's Not

Live View is implemented poorly, no dedicated buttons for ISO or shooting mode, shutter button could be better, loud shutter, slightly soft image quality

The Final Word

This camera feels and sounds like a beast. And it is a beast. It'll produce very good images at a 14.6Mp size, with practically no noise up to ISO 800. However, its Live View feature is worthless.
