Review:

The good: Uniquely professional form factor and features for its price; great audio section and motorized zoom; a terrific value.

The bad: Consumer-oriented controls make some pro-oriented features frustrating to operate for those accustomed to pro gear; Frame Mode not as good as true progressive imaging; noninterchangeable lens; lacks manually controlled neutral-density filter.
