Limitations
Lacks built-in GPS for location tagging, which some newer models include. The maximum continuous shooting speed of 5.3 fps is moderate but lower compared to some competitors targeting sports photography. Does not feature a full-frame sensor, limiting dynamic range compared to professional-grade cameras. Video recording has a file size limit of 4GB which requires restart for longer clips. The autofocus system, while reliable, only offers 9 points which may be restrictive for complex focusing scenarios. The camera's polycarbonate body, though durable, is not weather-sealed against moisture or dust ingress.
