Love the physical dials and buttons. Love that it is almost totally silent. BUT, manual focus is fly by wire – this would not be an issue if the sinlge point af-s was reliable, but it is not. I just do not have fun shooting with it because of that AND that you cannot recompose after you focused on something, everything becomes blurry because of the lens field curvatare. Sadly this makes the camera almost useless. My crappy Nikon J4 (everything above iso 800 is useless) is 100% reliable with the 18.5mm lens. Superfast af, totally silent and just GETS THE SHOT – which is how a street p&s should work.
