👎 Cons

  • The enormous zoom range contributes to a larger camera size, making it less portable than compact cameras.
  • While it has great low light capability, the maximum ISO of 6400 is not as high as some professional-grade cameras.
  • The continuous shooting speed of 7 frames per second, while respectable, might not be sufficient for very fast-moving action compared to some DSLRs.
  • Minimum focus distance at telephoto is 23 feet, limiting close-up shots when fully zoomed in.
  • The electronic viewfinder, at 2359k dots, offers good resolution but may not match the clarity of optical viewfinders in DSLRs.
