But the other features of the camera make it a tremendous little package. And it is indeed little. It fit comfortably in a cargo pant side pocket. Light and small.
The dedicated video button is a great idea and made more likely to shift to video than would have been without it. Also, maybe love the old style mode dial. Much more convenient and easy to use than a menu driven system. That being said, the menus and the navigation dial are very well put together and easy to navigate. A very bright, big and clear LCD screen.
Some will love having manual focus, Aperture, Shutter, and program settings like on an old camera, and it was thrilled to see that the changes in settings showed up on the LCD to simulate what the shot would look like. Super cool for an amateur photographer and will help you taking a better picture in the future.
The shutter speed is fast but still not like a SLR . The lag between shots is less than my previous camera but still not perfect. You will like that because you can shift back to the shooting screen before the previous image is finished writing to disk.
Strong low light performance. It was surprised at how well it did in pub lit mainly by Christmas lights. You will get clear, balanced shots when every other camera at the table was producing nothing worth keeping.
You'll need to do some homework to understand why those are not working for you. Also,you have not had success with shooting fast moving objects as well.
Finally, battery life is a point of concern. On your first long day of shooting, maybe the battery signal will getting low before evening. So make sure you order a backup battery to be sure that you won't run out of juice on a whole day away from home.
As long as battery life does not become a problem, it is a complete package and well worth the price in comparison to the other brands.
