Good Points

Well featured with PSAM and exposure compensation etc., excellent build quality, takes useful wide angle and telephoto lense adapters, central metal tripod socket on base plate, has hotshoe for SB400 etc.and optical viewfinder, proper neckstrap, camera a sensible size (i.e. not too small to hold firmly but still compact), with handy thumb rest at rear (top right hand side).

Bad Points

Noise visible at high ISOs, no RAW or TIFF capture, lacks provision for external remote control.
