Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Weather-Proof, great glass, creative filters(IR) logical op
Cons:	focus can be sticky and the meter can be fooled.

I love this camera. I don't do videos so I don't need that and I have a video camera. This camera is like a artist paint brush, it's a tool to make beautiful images and it does it well. I use it in my teaching, weddings, nature. Shooting color, HDR, IR. In rain,sun, and snow storms. What else could a photog want?
