Has pros: Great camera. -Pictures are razor sharp, especially landscapes. -Fast focus. -Menu made much more convenient than previous models. -A series of thrashings like their machine gun! -Three programmable modes. -Ability to set the maximum ISO sensitivity. -three control wheels -very flexible setting of programmable buttons (just delighted) Some cons: Why did they remove the level of the horizon ?! -no 180 degree screen rotation -matrix 24 megapixels, although there is more detail, but there is more noise. Although a controversial issue
