Pros:
|
Fast focusing, light, good IS module, sharp images
|
|
Cons:
|
Tripod collar should have 2 screws for stability.

|
Very fast focusing and light lens for its focal length. The IS feature works very well for this lens, and I've personally shot images at 1/15 with this lens and got usable images.
Images are tack sharp even wide open.

Pros:
|
Long battery life, solid, fast AF, well built, large viewfinder
|
|
Cons:
|
Loud shutter, reviewing is somewhat slow.
|
|
|
Very fast and solid camera that I've used so far, start-up is fast, writing is fast (for JPEG), AF is fast and image details are great.
My camera was kicked over by someone few weeks ago and it still function as per normal, though it sustained only minor marks.
Shutter speed is loud though, can't be used for concerts.
Battery life is outstanding. I can shoot for around 800 shots before recharging. (I'm a heavy chimper)
