Good but some units may have lens issues

Great camera with lots of tweaking options, however my unit has the right 20% side visually blurry. See 1:1 crop photo of right half. Less visible though in video since it crops aggressively, but even there I could still see little bit. Zooming to 24mm it didn't fully go away so doesn't seem normal lens corner softness. I did see some dpreview gallery images which seemed better but not perfect either. Not sure if this is a defect or variances in production lens quality.
Pros: - You can assign several custom buttons for almost any function (focus mode, silent mode, exposure, focus mode) - Decent stabilization (although not at most smartphone/GoPro levels) - Great custom tweaking of user picture effects. E.g. you can do small W/B adjustment (i.e. add slightly more red), or decrease saturation. - Decent grip and ergonomics (but still somewhat slippery since lacks texture) - Intelligent zoom is good quality to make up somewhat for lack of zoom range (digital
Cons: - Manual focus mode: you 1st have to go to manual focus mode (you can use shortcut). 2nd step is to select 'set focus'. You can use 2 shortcut buttons to speed it up but still odd it's not 1 step - Switching modes is confusing: in video mode you cannot take photos and will show an error for shutter (you might be able to override that in settings), while in photo mode you can do both - Easy to accidentally touch screen and i.e. change ISO quickly without noticing - Battery charging slow
