Quick review

The good
Looks good, low ISO image quality, VR, screen, pricing, responsive, specification
The bad
Rotary Multi Selector turns too easily, no optical viewfinder, shadow noise at ISO 100, no manual shooting options
Verdict
Apart from a couple of odd slip-ups, the camera performs well enough
