Slim and well made body, Fast AF and startup, Excellent video, Very good AWB performance
No parallax correction in viewfinder, Some image processing issues, Chromatic aberration, Price

Exposure compensation dial does not work in video mode (but you can set exposure compensation using the AEL button when the mode dial is set to movie), No swivel screen (vs predecessor and some competitors), No automated panorama mode (only stitch-assist), HDR mode only works well with the camera on a tripod, Auto ISO only uses up to ISO 1600, Matt surface a little prone to scratches,
A few years ago Canon's G-series was the place to look if you were in the market for a 'serious' compact, but more recently there has been a lot of development in this sector of the market. These days there is an entire range of cameras to choose from...
