These are not really reviews, just a rehash of the spec sheets. I suspect the author has not taken a single shot with either camera…..

HI John. Your suspicions are correct because these cameras hadn’t even hit S.A shores at the time of writing. I have not, however, claimed this piece as a camera review, merely a heads-up on what to expect.
