* Images lack biting crispness, some loss of fine detail to noise reduction * Some corner softness at long end of zoom * Distortion throughout the zoom range * Focus slow at long end of zoom and in low light * Occasional focus errors (where the camera says it's in focus and it isn't) * Full resolution burst mode unimpressive * Purple fringing and chromatic aberration (fairly mild, but visible) * Slow file writing (xD-Picture Card) * Poor artificial light Auto White Balance and slightly unreliable Custom White Balance * Screen blooming and slow reaction to brightness changes in live preview * Movie mode restrictions (can't use sound with IS or zoom turned on) * Mild overexposure of bright scenes leading to highlight clipping (can be fixed with AE-C) * Supplied raw converter produces unimpressive results * HIgher ISO settings noisy and soft (due to noise reduction) * Almost pointless low-resolution ISO 3200 and ISO 5000 settings * Disappointing macro performance |
