Quick review

The good
Great build, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, nice lens focal range
The bad
Reduced detail due to noise reduction processing, Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, white balance issues in mixed lighting, screen marks easily
Verdict
While it looks very nice, the entry price is higher than that of its predecessor and, mysteriously, there are a few things missing from the new model
