Limitations
The camera's maximum ISO sensitivity tops at 3200, which may generate visible noise in very low-light conditions compared to newer models. It lacks a touch screen and external microphone input, limiting advanced video recording options. The 3-inch fixed LCD screen does not tilt or swivel, reducing flexibility in shooting angles. Continuous shooting speed peaks at approximately 1.3 frames per second, which is modest for fast action photography. The absence of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity restricts instant image sharing and remote control features. Battery life is moderate, typically supporting up to 250 shots per charge, which might require spare batteries for extended use.
