• RAW capture
• Guide Mode helps beginners nail difficult shots
• High shot-count, hi-speed, lo-rez bursts with animated playback
• "Perfect Fix" allows for easy in-camera corrections
• 5 shot AEB sequence at up to +/-1

What's Not:
• RAW capture is slow, and RAW utility is lacking
• JPEG image processing is slow
• Playback is slow
• Mediocre DxO 2.0 lens distortion tests at all tested focal lengths, from true wide angle to supertelephoto.
