Has some pros: Stunning still images and video, optical zoom, a plethora of customization choices and settings, a nice and user-friendly screen. The dimensions, the weight (but I don't want soap), and the unneeded functionality (GPS, 3D) are both drawbacks. It would be preferable if it were cheaper without these features.
