Impressive.

Sony’s latest high-end point-and-shoot.

There’s lots to like here. A fast lens, a useful zoom range, a big sensor and an EVF. OK, so the latter pops up (ugh!) and there is no manual zoom control, replaced with one of those awful electric toggles. But this is the shape of things to come and while I’ll be sticking with my dual Panny GX7 outfit – with the 17mm and 45mm Zuikos, both outstanding – one day someone will get the small camera/large sensor/fast lens/rational manual controls combination right. This one is close.
