The good: Excellent, highly detailed images; top-notch 7X L-series zoom lens; short RAW shot-to-shot times; built-in neutral-density filter; support for Adobe RGB.
The bad: Slow autofocus; worse than average shutter delay; crummy manual exposure-metering display; no live histogram.
The bottom line: This 8-megapixel megazoom model has some annoying drawbacks, but its top-notch pictures will please many advanced and enthusiast shooters.
