'With Instant AF enabled, the autofocus works quickly, and the Push AF, which activates an Instant AF override in manual-focus mode, speeds manual focus considerably.'
'there is no way to override the viewfinder's underscan, making it impossible to see the full image--a serious limitation if you're shooting for distribution in a format that displays an overscanned image (streaming Web video, for example).'
'the press release refers to the format exclusively as "24F," never 24P, indicating that it is not true 24P'
'The menu is colorful and adds some great new features, such as the ability to create custom presets.'
'My only lingering complaint about the design--albeit a minor one--is that the clever joystick used to control menu and VCR functions is a bit too tiny, making it difficult to control accurately.'
'No high-definition capability.'
'It is worth noting that the autofocus mode is so sluggish in the progressive modes that it is only marginally useful with fast-moving subjects or rapid camera movement.'
