> "FOR:
> o Good at capturing/resolving fine detail
> o No discernible fringeing
> o Supersonic wave filter for dust removal"
>
> "AGAINST:
> o Excessive noise at ISO 200 and above
> o Auto white balance unpredictable if no definite white point
> o ESP meter easily thrown towards under/over-exposure
> o Difficult handling for photographers using left eye"
