• Metering faithfull in most situations
• Noise under control for such small sensor (until iso400 or iso 800 dipending of your exigency)
• Zoom capabilities very useful and zoom quality raisonnable (quite sharp; chromatic abberation [CA] not so strong as read otherwise)
• I-Contrast effective to render blacks lessen black (increase perceived dynamic, in photo mode only)
• No parasite effect of light (typical "white line") when filming (video) a bright sources direct in front of the lense, but a little of "flare"
• Image Stabilizer very efficient and useful, particulary when filming videos or at the tele end of the zoom to reduce movements

Cons:  

• Totaly unusable for fast moving subjects in video. Manual p.239 says: "This is related to the speed at which the image sensor is able to process signals"...
• Accidental pressing of Control dial with the thumb (ergonomy)
• Zoom moving too fast (during videos)
• Button +/- (Exposure control) too hard to find when dark
• Dynamic a bit limitated (whites are sometimes "washed out")

Video capabilities (Full HD - 1920x1080pixels) exceptional for the price. For the first time a real wide angle in Full HD. I find the quality of the pictures (sharpness, metering, etc.) great (but not perfect). Film in manual focus, it's better because the camera don't search constantly to focus. With the Contral Dial you can change the distance and/or the brightness (both during filming): nice. Naturally, you can use the zoom (optical and -if you realy need- digital) during filming videos.

All studio scenes. Distance: 80 cm, Focal-length: 10mm (about 55mm 35mm-equiv)
