It’s one of the few cameras of this type with a large optical viewfinder, and its X-Trans image sensor promises to deliver film-like images that competing Bayer sensors can’t match. The 12-megapixel camera does grab images that are quite sharp, and its lens captures plenty of light, but it struggles at higher ISO settings.
