Its rear LCD screen is fixed and non-articulating, limiting flexible shooting angles. The autofocus system, while competent, uses a basic 11-point array that may not perform optimally in very low light or fast action scenarios. It lacks weather sealing, making it less suitable for harsh environmental conditions. The camera's continuous shooting speed maxes out at 5 frames per second, which may not suffice for high-speed photography.
